VIDEO. The prefect Lallement apologizes after his remarks on the patients in intensive care

The prefect of Paris police had declared in the morning to the cameras of BFMTV that "those who are hospitalized today, that one finds in the resuscitations, are those which at the beginning of the confinement did not respect it".

Faced with the controversy, Didier Lallement evokes an "error" that he "regrets for several reasons". “I know that I have struck many people who have relatives in intensive care, in the hospital, or who have lost one of their own. No one should feel guilty for living in such a situation, such a drama, ”he says.

While calls for resignation have multiplied on the side of several political figures, Didier Lallement does not intend to leave the Paris police headquarters. "This action at their head (police), I will continue it," he said.
