“Kerosene is not for planes, it is for burning cops,” protesters chanted during this rally as part of International Women’s Day.
Several videos relaying these slogans were broadcast on social networks.
The general secretary of the SGP Police Unit, Grégory Joron, reported these calls to the minister on Sunday morning, according to the police union, who decided to take legal action.
In a message posted on X (formerly Twitter), Gérald Darmanin describes these comments as “scandalous”.
“I am contacting the Paris public prosecutor,” he wrote, adding: “Everything will be done to find those responsible for this incitement to commit a crime.”
