A 36-year-old radicalized Tunisian national stabbed to death an administrative officer at the Rambouillet police station on Friday, before being shot dead by a police officer.

To pay tribute to him and to face up to the terrorist threat, the police unions are calling for rallies in front of the police stations on Monday evening.

A fifth person was taken into custody on Sunday after the attack at the Rambouillet police station, in which an administrative officer was killed with knives on Friday by a radicalized assailant.

After these dramatic events, the police unions call for rallies Monday evening in front of the police stations to pay tribute to him.

Because for the representatives of the police, there is indeed a need to face up to the terrorist threat hanging over their professions.

"Show that we are still standing"

"It is above all symbolic and very important to reflect. And then we must show that beyond the different professions of the National Police, whether administrative, technical, scientific or in the prefecture, we are unfortunately targeted without distinction by terrorists, "said Grégory Joron, secretary general of the SGP Police union.

For him, these gatherings must therefore be moments of sharing and unity.

"We have to show that we are still standing," he insisted.

Revealing the results of the first investigations, the national antiterrorist prosecutor Jean-François Ricard explained Sunday that the assailant presented a radicalization "hardly questionable" since the autumn but also "certain personality disorders". 

A new anti-terrorism law must be presented on Wednesday by Gérald Darmanin in the Council of Ministers in order to endorse and strengthen measures already tested in terms of intelligence.

This murder with a knife, perpetrated within a police station, increases the political and symbolic load of a text that will be added to the twenty or so anti-terrorism laws promulgated in France since 1986.
