Police and Justice
Place Vendome, police show "incomprehensible against judicial decisions'
"Nothing, the answer is final, accompanied by a smile ironic. I expect nothing of this gathering, as usual," says the official present Vendome, outside the Ministry of Justice, Wednesday, October 14, to protest against the "break Police justice." "It's still there to be supportive, and because there is an inter-union, while the world is going in the same direction," he adds.
One thing is certain, the target set by the Inter, which brings together all the personal, administrative officers to the commissioners, is reached. The police headquarters is probably a bit generous announcing 7500 people. Place Vendome, half of which is under construction, was not full, although it was certainly several thousand participants. In 2001, during the final movement of this magnitude, the demonstrations had collected up to 15,000 people.Maximum, knowing that the police can not do strike and therefore protesting on their time off or leave - thus passing under the gauntlet of the hierarchy.
The trigger for this mobilization was the shooting in which an officer of the Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC) 36 year old was seriously injured, October 5, at Ile-Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis) . The author of the shots, Wilston B., 24, was a prisoner on the run who had not returned to the prison Réau (Seine-et-Marne) after a furlough, May 27
"Decisions incomprehensible"
The authorities were concerned about slippage against the Minister of Justice, Christiane Taubira, and had challenged the choice of location, which could leavepresage slogans targeting the minister. Tuesday, again, after the speech of Bernard Cazeneuve the big bosses of the police and gendarmerie, counselors present the Prime Minister had made the rounds of union officials to ask for moderation. They were - almost - heard.
Surprisingly - after all, the unions had still indeed chosen the Vendôme -, speeches dodged targeted criticism. Only Philippe Capon, secretary general of the UNSA-Police (third among peacekeepers), has directly criticized the Minister of Justice, causing a wave of "Taubira, resignation," which was quickly extinguished. Even National Alliance-Police (first among guards) or Synergy -Officiers classified right and regularly critical of Mrs Taubira, retained their shots.
"We are not there to target this or that policy, but the lack of cohesion between departments," says a policeman of Ile-de-France. Slogans therefore remained traditional: "Police asphyxiated, threatening society," or "No protection, no arrests" What. Reflect the claims, protean: lack of resources, plenty of missions, criminal procedure too complex, etc. "The police are tired of seeing their work destroyed by incomprehensible court decisions", was indignant Yves Lefebvre, head of Unity SGP-Police (second), causing the event.
Face the wrath of the police, the Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, announced Wednesday a series of measures meant to "fix" the "dysfunctions". Hollandehas, moreover, announced Wednesday by the Cabinet would receive "the week next 'unions of police and justice. The Head of State stressed "the hard work, courageous and effective police and gendarmes of all law enforcement," also conveyed the spokesman of the government, Stéphane Le Foll.
