Gérald Darmanin in Poissy: "I will not set up lawless and non-controlled areas"

REPORT

A new debate has just burst into the government after the exit of the Defender of Rights, Claire Hédon, who asks that in certain areas of the territory, the police no longer have the possibility of carrying out identity checks.

The Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin was traveling Monday evening to the Poissy police station.

He posed as a defender of the police, after a weekend where the police were targeted by mortar fire and calls to kill.

The anger of the mayor of Poissy 

If the Minister of the Interior organized this surprise visit in the face of the emotion aroused by the calls for the murder of the Poissy police officers, on the spot, the exchanges very quickly turned around the declarations of the Defender of Rights.

In the presence of the police officers from the police station, the mayor of Poissy Karl Olive slammed his fist on the table: "The Defender of Rights [

] organized the competition for the thorn of imbecility above ground to be able to imagine experimenting with areas no identity checks in our neighborhoods. Minister, rather create a Defender of Duties! ", he blurted out.

Immediate response from Gerald Darmanin: "I will not set up lawless and unchecked areas. The vast majority of French people support the police," he said.

After having greeted and listened to the attacked police officers, Gérald Darmanin visited the Poissy police station from top to bottom, which notably enabled him to note that the heating no longer works.

And without delay, he asked the director general of the national police, present on the spot, to resolve this problem as quickly as possible.
