• The mayor of Bordeaux Pierre Hurmic (EELV) was elected president of the French Forum for Urban Security (FFSU) on Wednesday.

  • The FFSU presents itself as “the French network of local authorities dedicated to reflection on urban security.

    »

  • The Bordeaux opposition mocked this appointment, highlighting the rising crime figures in Bordeaux.

It must be admitted that it is not necessarily the environmentalist mayor of Bordeaux, whom we saw taking the reins of a body which works to “strengthen local policies of urban security”.

Pierre Hurmic has never made security the cornerstone of his policy.

His appointment to the presidency of the FFSU, French Forum for Urban Security, which presents itself as "the French network of local authorities dedicated to reflection on urban security" may therefore be surprising, even if this organization specifies that it is working on the implementation implementation of “policies balanced between prevention, punishment and social cohesion.

From this announcement, Wednesday, the Bordeaux opposition in any case did not fail to jump on the information, and to mock the mayor of Bordeaux.

Fabien Robert (MoDem), tweeted the latest crime figures (which are however the responsibility of the national police) on the rise in Bordeaux:

Prevention policy highlighted

Opposition tackles on social networks are fair game.

The FFSU, for its part, justifies this appointment by highlighting the "commitment" of the city of Bordeaux on many themes, it is true more in terms of prevention than repression.



“With the arrival of Pierre Hurmic as President of the FFSU, the Forum can count on a new team whose commitment and involvement are part of the continuity, can we read in the press release from the Executive Committee.

By assuming the presidency, the city of Bordeaux continues its long-standing commitment within the FFSU - both on many themes (young foreigners on the move, municipal police, nightlife, etc.) and on the advocacy side (active participation in the White Paper for territorial security, State-Community partnership dialogue, active contribution within the Executive Committee).

"The forum is an essential space for dialogue, work and sharing to make the voice of communities heard in the security issues that arise today," commented Pierre Hurmic.
