Caught between the protest against the "global security" law and the indignation aroused by the beating of Michel Zecler by the police, the government is trying to reduce the pressure.
Gérald Darmanin will for his part try to appease the discontent of part of the deputies of the majority, annoyed by the government's proposal to have the law rewritten by an independent commission.
Entangled in the controversy around the "global security" law but also police violence, the government is trying to get out of the crisis.

This hearing could prove tense.
"He will be under the crossfire of all anti-Darmanin, rebellious to part of LREM," predicted a deputy LR.
At 9 am, the minister will therefore carry out a demining operation, only with the marchers of the Commission.

LREM deputies had a very bad experience of the government's proposal to rewrite the law, which they voted on Tuesday, by an independent commission.
Macron wants quick proposals

Here then is the government forced to manage the two issues head-on: re-establishing trust between citizens and the police on the one hand, and protecting the police without hindering the freedom to inform on the other.
Macronie is looking for ways to bring down the pressure, by working haphazardly on improving this article 24, reforming the police, police training, the fight against discrimination.
Because the head of state wants quick proposals to get out of this crisis situation.
