SGP Police Unit supports the events announced throughout France against rising fuel taxes.
In their fight against rising fuel prices, which plunges their purchasing power, the yellow vests, which some accuse of being recovered politically, have received the support of a police union.
"The police are above all citizens," says the union unit SGP Police - FSMI - FO, which declares itself "in solidarity with the citizen day of November 17" and asks its members "to observe a white day without a stamp-fine "
In other words, SGP Police Unit calls for a strike of the minutes Saturday, November 17. "Zero PV" , summarizes the union, which however does not call to block the roads and warns that there will be no amnesty for the most serious crimes and misdemeanors.
"We can not let such a move go by"
"We do not stop to listen to us, especially since the election of Emmanuel Macron, with the approach of the police and the population. We say banco, " Yves Lefebvre said on the set of BFMTV Wednesday.
"We can not let such a move," said the unionist, for whom police are directly affected by rising prices at the pump. "This impact on purchasing power is the same for the cops . "
While professional elections are looming, the Unit representative SGP Police denies any "populist action" and any "opportunistic" recovery. It is rather an illustration of the "growl" that wins the police who have "flush the cap" .
Police do not have the right to strike
On Facebook, UPNI (Union of Independent National Police) is relaying a call from the Angry Police Mobilization Association, asking police to "highlight" their yellow police vests on November 17, to support the blockades.
Remember that police do not have the right to strike and demonstrate when they are at work. But they can, out of service, express themselves "freely within the limits imposed by the duty of reserve and by loyalty to the institutions of the Republic," says the code of ethics of the national police.
