Police unions overwhelmed by this proposal from the defender of rights
"Okay for the receipt. I think that we must give ourselves all the means (...) to better identify discrimination in the country. We have to be able to quantify, that the word can be released, ”
he said on franceinfo.
"On the other hand, areas where we would not do identity checks, I think that would be a terrible setback for the Republic,"
he added.
“That would be giving up, admitting that there are areas in a certain way where the law does not apply. I think it would be a failure. So yes, pedestrian cameras. Yes, police training. Yes of the requirement vis-à-vis our police (...). But not to lawless areas ”
, summarized the general delegate of En Marche.
Indignant reactions to the right
Since Friday, the proposal of the defender of rights, Claire Hédon, has aroused many indignant reactions, mainly on the right.
“
The new delusional idea of the defender of rights: the end of identity checks in certain territories.
This means legalizing areas of lawlessness (...) Distressing naivety,
”thus tweeted Éric Ciotti, LR deputy for the Alpes-Maritimes.
“
Better!
How about an area without police officers?
»Joked Julien Aubert, LR deputy from Vaucluse.
“
At a time when delinquency is exploding in Marseille and outside, the defender of rights by expressing the wish to ban identity checks, proposes to create zones of lawlessness.
This is unacceptable!
Let us support our police forces who protect us every day,
”said Martine Vassal, LR president of the Bouches-du-Rhône departmental council.
“
This proposal is crazy.
Why not create zones without police either, so that the thugs can lead their quiet little life?
»Asked the mayor of Béziers Robert Ménard.
