The reform “shakes up habits and it is normal that it arouses disputes, but certain limits must not be crossed”, insists the minister.
Alliance, Synergie and UNSA, the main police unions, asked Gérald Darmanin on Saturday “appeasement” measures in the face of the dispute and the indignation aroused by the reform of the judicial police ( PJ) and the dismissal of the boss of the southern area of the PJ. In an interview with Parisian , Sunday October 9, the Minister of the Interior defends this very reform controversial, which he presents as “courageous, essential and difficult”.
The reform “shakes up habits and it is normal that it arouses disputes, but certain limits must not be crossed”, he adds by denouncing the “shocking images” of the demonstration of the investigators in Marseille during of the arrival of the Director General of the National Police (DGPN).
Sense of appeasement
Thursday, the DGPN, Frédéric Veaux, who came to Marseille to present his reform, had to cross a “hedge of dishonor” formed by some two hundred investigators opposed to the project.
