One of the main police unions, Unit SGP Police, asked this Thursday the prefect of police of Paris, Didier Lallement, to "take responsibility" in the fiasco on Saturday at the Stade de France, by questioning Gérald Darmanin on the chain of commandment.

In a leaflet, the union challenges the Minister of the Interior: “Mr. Minister, who is the principal?

!

".

Next to a photo of the prefect Lallement, he writes: "if today, you consider that gestures were inappropriate, it is probably because the orders given were inappropriate".

“That the minister points the finger at individual responsibilities on the collective system, it is not shocking.

What is more embarrassing is that he only does that as a questioning and that the chain of command which goes back to the prefect of police is not questioned, ”explained to AFP the secretary general of 'SGP Police Unit, Grégory Joron.

“Afterwards, we should not be surprised that we have inappropriate gestures”

Wednesday before the senators who auditioned him, Gérald Darmanin spoke of "inappropriate and disproportionate gestures on the part of police officers or mobile gendarmes".

The minister who was at the security PC on Saturday evening at the Stade de France said he "personally saw two facts (…) contrary to the rules of employment" and asked the prefect Lallement to take "sanctions" against these two people.

“We would have liked, continued Grégory Joron, that the chain of command was also pointed out.

We only retain the lamp operator at the end of the chain.

»

The trade unionist believes that if the device at the Stade de France "had not been managed like that, there would not have been people clumped to the gates".

“Afterwards, we should not be surprised that we unfortunately have inappropriate gestures”.

Grégory Joron points to the "too rigid mechanisms" of the police headquarters.

“The PP wants to keep the media heart of policing, essentially by exposing its workforce,” he laments.

But, he continues, a “law enforcement device is first considered with the heavy echelons (CRS, mobile gendarmes) and then with more mobile and rapid means (the Brav or the Bac).

The reverse should not be done”.

"Maintaining order remains a matter of specialists, everyone must be in their right role", adds the trade unionist, who notes that Paris is the only place where "the gendarmerie and the CRS are not invited to design of the device”.

Asked by AFP, the other main Alliance union did not wish to comment on the incidents at the Stade de France.
