Renald Luzier said his departure was unconnected to internal tensions at the publication, but rather that the job without his slain colleagues had become "too much to bear".
"This is a very personal choice," Luz, who joined Charlie Hebdo in 1992, said in an interview with French newspaper Liberation.
"Each issue is torture because the others are gone. Spending sleepless nights summoning the dead, wondering what Charb, Cabu, Honore, Tignous would have done is exhausting," the cartoonist said, referring to his colleagues killed on January 7th.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls is locked in ideological battle with an intellectual who has described the nation's reaction to the Charlie Hebdo killings as a pseudo-secular "imposture". After Valls took the exceptional measure of attacking him in a newspaper op-ed piece, historian and sociologist Emmanuel Todd hit back with a charge of "Pétainism".

Where is Pam Geller....she is a true warrior for " Free Speech "
I'm sure that Pam Geller is truly outraged by this heinous attack on Free Speech.
Perhaps she will hold a Cartoon Contest in France with cartoons depicting " Holocaust Victims " in hilarious scenarios.

Siné a été accusé par Philippe Val, ex-directeur de la rédaction de Charlie Hebdo, de propos antisémites alors qu’il s’est battu toute sa vie contre cela. BHL, qui considère Siné comme un sale anarchiste, était parmi les témoins à charge lors du procès. Aujourd’hui, Siné a 83 balais et est en fauteuil roulant. Je savais que rien ne lui ferait plus plaisir qu’on lui dédie le gag.
Siné was accused by Philippe Val, former head of Charlie Hebdo, to be an antisémite while he fought his entire life against that. BHL who consider Siné as a nasty anarchist, was among the accusation witnesses at the trial. Today, Siné is 83 and in a wheelchair. I knew nothing would please him more than a dedicated joke.
