  • The facts arise in a context of police unrest after the fireworks mortar attack on the Champigny-sur-Marne (Val-de-Marne) police station last weekend and the bulletproof attack on two police officers in Herblay ( Val-d'Oise) last week.

  • The trade unions are to meet the President of the Republic this Thursday morning.

    They require Emmanuel Macron to take measures to protect the agents.

The series of violence targeting the police continues.

A few days after the fireworks mortar attack on the Champigny-sur-Marne police station (Val-de-Marne) and the assault by bullets of two police officers in Herblay (Val-d'Oise), a brigadier, aged 40 years old was run over by the driver of a car during a control overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday in Savigny-sur-Orge (Essonne).

Suffering from a broken leg and a head trauma, he was hospitalized in serious condition.

His vital prognosis was, this Wednesday, still engaged.

According to the first elements of the investigation, it was around 1:30 a.m. when officers of the Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC) stopped in an area regularly victim of burglaries to check a Peugeot reported stolen.

The driver then restarted and knocked over this very experienced official.

The Evry prosecutor's office opened an investigation for "attempted murder of a person holding public authority".

The driver, who fled, was identified by police.

This is a man born in 1981 who is unfavorably known to the police.

“We're not going to let ourselves be pulled like pigeons!

"

While the police are regularly attacked by delinquents, the police unions intend to ask Emmanuel Macron, this Thursday morning, for measures to ensure their protection.

“There are 18 police attacks every day.

We are not going to let ourselves be pulled like pigeons, we are not going to leave our colleagues alone in the face of this situation, it is not possible ”, explains Frédéric Lagache, general delegate of the Alliance union.

“We must sanctify the police as untouchable symbols.

Afterwards they manage!

If this involves measures such as minimum penalties or if the Constitution has to be revised, they get out of hand!

They have enough people to think and find means, continues the trade unionist.

Otherwise, the situation may become tense.

"

For once, the unions denounce a justice that would be too lenient towards delinquents who attack the police.

“Why aren't they afraid?

Because they know very well that at worst, they will have an electronic bracelet for six months and they will stay at home playing the console, ”denounces Grégory Joron, deputy general secretary of the SGP Police-FO Unit union.

He believes that the government lacks consistency on this issue.

“On the one hand we are told that the Republic must not lower its head, on the other there is a circular from the Keeper of the Seals calling for favoring alternative sentences rather than sending people to prison.

There are injunctions that are inconsistent.
