The proposed law on "global security" worries the media
LREM deputy from Paris Sylvain Maillard was on the set of “Talk Le Figaro” on Friday, shortly before the opening of the debates.
Spokesman of the deputies of the majority, he wanted to reassure and appease the spirits as for the contents of the text which, according to him, "
is not very well understood
".
"Read the text again, obviously we can continue to film anyone and of course the police.
On the other hand, we do not have the right to incite hatred by the use of these images, which is quite logical in fact!
The offense may be punished with a fine of 75,000 euros with 3 to 5 years' imprisonment,
”he says, insisting that the text is still under discussion.
The objective, "
is to protect our police forces
".
On the remarks of Gérald Darmanin which are controversial and which could infringe the freedom of the press, the elected official specifies, "
there will be a government amendment, which will make it possible to specify, among others for journalists, that in no case our idea is to prevent the exercise of journalism
”he assures us.
No blurring requirement?
"
No
" says Maillard.
Prior authorization requests from the prefecture to cover an event?
“
A journalist will never be prohibited from filming police officers, I say never!
»Asserts the Walker, certifying that these provisions have«
never
»been written in the text.
"This municipal police force, we had promised it"
If there is rififi in the ranks of the majority on the subject, Sylvain Maillard ensures that "
there are all the tendencies within the group, including a significant part of the deputies judging that as the text is misunderstood , it must surely be badly drafted,
”he tries to procrastinate.
Saluting in passing the action of Jean Castex, "
who does an extremely difficult job for France, without seeking the light, by playing collective
", the elected recalls that the latter "
is prime minister, it is therefore up to him to 'to arbitrate and to feel where it is necessary to find a little slack in relation to the parliamentary group
”.
His intervention could perhaps soften the most resistant, "
otherwise it will not work
" concludes the spokesperson.

In this global security text, there is also the establishment of a municipal police in Paris.
The mayor of Paris who ended up changing his mind and resolving to do so, remains against the arming of the agents.
“
This subject has been debated,
” emphasizes Sylvain Maillard in favor of the lethal arming of municipal police officers.
"
This municipal police force, we had made the promise,
" he recalls, adding that the LREM candidates had assured that whatever happens, whatever the result of the municipal elections, they would go "
before Parliament with a bill
And they would wear it.
“
It's a promise that has been kept,
” concludes the Walker.
