Prime Minister Édouard Philippe on Tuesday lashed the MP for France Insubord Ugo Bernalicis who had implicated the Paris Prefect of Police for its management of the demonstration of "yellow vests" Saturday in the capital.
"Address the Minister of the Interior or the Prime Minister" "
"Questioning by name an official who carries out his mission in the service of the State and who, in this chamber, can not answer because he can not speak and he can not attend, seems to me not exactly correspond to the demands that we have to pose of a mature democracy, "the head of the government responded to the melenchonist deputy, during questions to the government in the National Assembly.

"This or that parliamentarian can criticize the action of the government, but if you have to question the action of an official, then address the Minister of the Interior or the Prime Minister," launched Edward Philippe. Ugo Bernalicis had said that the Paris police chief, Didier Lallement, had the nicknames of "prefect who flogs the cops" or "madman".
"Lallement left the camp of the Republic"
"So you purposely named it because there is a fit between your policing doctrine and the reputation of this prefect, between 'the éborgneur' and the furious bastard," continued the LFI deputy, estimating that the prefect "Lallement had left the camp of the Republic" and asking that he be "removed from office". Laurent Nuñez, Secretary of State to the Minister of the Interior, had first responded by defending a "doctrine defined at the level of government" and it was not "to prevent the free exercise of the right to manifest ".
