One of the main police unions, Un1té (formerly SGP Police Unit) threatened the government on Thursday to call for a mobilization of civil servants on April 30, if they did not obtain financial compensation for their commitment during the Games Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris promised by the Minister of the Interior. About a hundred days before the opening of the 2024 Olympic Games, “
the conditions are not met for the exceptional commitment that is expected of you and we are taking our responsibilities in your interest
”, affirms the secretary general of Un1té, Grégory Joron, in an open letter published on X. “
Un1té will call for mobilization in the coming days. If there is no money for the Olympic Games, then there will perhaps be no agent
,” he continues, giving an appointment for “
next April 30.
”
He argued that “
interactions from outside the Interior Ministry are slowing or blocking planned progress
.” “
To be clear, Bercy is blocking and Matignon is not refereeing
,” summarized Grégory Joron. Several hundred police officers demonstrated throughout France in mid-January, at the call of a group of unions led by Alliance and Unsa-Police, to demand bonuses for all the agents hired. Two weeks later, Gérald Darmanin announced an exceptional bonus, increased to 1,900 euros for police officers and gendarmes working in Île-de-France, paid by the State in compensation for the mobilization of law enforcement during the Games. To this bonus is added compensation of 50 euros per night for all police officers displaced for at least five days on security missions or linked to the 2024 Olympics.
