LREM and PS oppose the casting of the hearings at the National Assembly of the parliamentary commission of inquiry devoted to the maintenance of order, the Socialists claiming Thursday, September 24, to hear "
dissonant opinions
" on the police as Assa Traore.

The PS rapporteur, George Pau-Langevin, regretted that the committee's office "
seems to have spoken
" on the list of hearings in "
her absence
", because she was in solitary confinement for "
suspicion of Covid
" and contests the choices that have been made.
The president of the commission and former boss of the RAID Jean-Michel Fauvergue (LREM) denounces a "
trial of intent
": the list of hearings was decided "
collegially by the office
", with the only absent George Pau-Langevin and includes “
Amnesty International or the Defender of Rights who has not been kind to the police lately
”.
“We
will have to hear from people who have grievances against the police, otherwise it is useless.
There will be sociologists, psychologists or police officers from minorities,
”he adds, indicating that the list will still“
be completed
”.
Launched in September, the commission can last up to six months.
"
Judicial inquiries are still underway
"
Regarding Assa Traoré, who has become a figure in the fight against police violence since she accuses the gendarmes of having "
killed
" her brother Adama during an arrest in 2016, Jean-Michel Fauvergue explains that the commission of he investigation ruled against his hearing for two reasons.
First, because the “
object
” of
the commission is
“
deontology, practices and doctrines for maintaining order
” and not questioning techniques.
Then, because "
judicial inquiries are still underway
", he argues.
Without specifically calling for the hearing of Assa Traoré, George Pau-Langevin asks to hear "
both the security forces, their chains of command, their trade unions, but also those who, rightly or wrongly, feel they should to complain about their action
”.
"
If the debates take place outside the Assembly, we will be marginalized
", she believes, stressing that the commission of inquiry was born out of a "
right of drawing
" of the socialist group, which does not did not want to limit it to the only maintenance of order, but to approach more broadly "
the deterioration of the bond of confidence between citizens and public force
".
