A mess of questions for the Minister of the Interior.
Gérald Darmanin was auditioned by the Laws Commission of the National Assembly and he had to answer on many subjects to the questions of the deputies present.
In a delicate situation after the Michel Zickler affair and the controversial evacuation of Place de la République, the tenant of Place Beauvau had to explain the shortcomings of the French law enforcement agencies.
Gérald Darmanin agreed that the “little training” of the police should lead to reflection.
The first cop in France now wishes for his men "a more important initial training".
To a deputy who took as an example the 36 months of school for the German police (against 8 months in France), the minister only agreed "that we had closed too many schools" in France and that the institution lacked "creation of positions" in maintaining order.

Regarding the contentious police checks where versions are opposed, Gérald Darmanin welcomed the generalization of "pedestrian cameras from July 1 for gendarmes and police".
Recordings which "protect citizens against unacceptable attacks of violence by the police but also protect the police".
If the video is now at the heart of the concerns of the Ministry of the Interior, the role of Didier Lallement in the police abuses in the Paris region occupies the thoughts of some deputies.
Faced with criticism, the Minister of the Interior reiterated his support for the head of the police headquarters: "He does extremely difficult things, I am not one of those who shoot in the back when you are in difficulty".
