The violence and damage committed at Croix-Rousse on the evening of Sunday April 24, after the announcement of Emmanuel Macron's re-election to the presidency, continue to do damage, but not to street furniture.
In an interview with
Actu Lyon
, the EELV mayor of Lyon Grégory Doucet welcomed the rapid intervention of the municipal police, while regretting that the national police only arrived "20 minutes" later.
Enough to make the Rhône prefecture jump, which clarified to
Actu Lyon
that exchanges between the municipal police and the national police had taken place before the second round "in order to coordinate the action of the security forces".
As for the 20 minutes difference noted by the mayor of Lyon, they would actually be 4 minutes.
This was confirmed by the unions CFTC Police Municipale, FO Police Municipale and the inter-union of the Municipal Police of Lyon, which gave their support to the prefecture.
The absence of surveillance cameras pointed again
The prefect, Pascal Mailhos, also adds that it was "very difficult to follow the progress of this procession since the sector is not covered by any video protection camera", an absence which also prevents the identification of the "authors of the various degradations observed".
For how long will the mayor continue to shirk his responsibilities and when will he finally assume to install cameras, as we propose, to protect the inhabitants and the police?https:// t.co/eM8OS3ibq7

The lack of surveillance cameras in Lyon, regularly reproached to Grégory Doucet, made Laurent Wauquiez, LR president of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region react again: "For how long will the mayor continue to shed its responsibilities and when will it finally assume to install cameras, as we propose, to protect the inhabitants and the police?
