She had announced it in her book "Guardian of Peace and Revolt", here it is.
Linda Kebbab, national delegate of the SGP Police FO union, launches, accompanied by big names in security, a think tank called “Internal security initiative”, almost 8 months before the presidential election.
This think tank was "born from the observation of the lack of concrete proposals to improve the conditions of exercise of the professions of security and justice", explained, this Thursday, during a press conference the seven founding members from ground.
Among them, LR deputies Frédéric Péchenard, former director general of the national police, close to Nicolas Sarkozy and now vice-president (LR) of the Île-de-France region, and the macronist Jean-Michel Fauvergue, former commissioner and patron of the RAID.
Two elected officials from different sides for this transpartisan think tank, they insist.

At their side, representatives of the various security poles, Richard Lizurey, former director general of the national gendarmerie, Bruno Pomart, former police officer of the RAID, Éric Delbecque, former director of security at Charlie Hebdo, but also the magistrate Béatrice Brugère, general secretary of FO-Unité Magistrats.
A circle of influence without "political politics"
This mixture is a way to overcome the divisions between police and gendarmerie and "to have a shared diagnosis, to get out of the logic of silos", details the magistrate.
All within a perimeter forming a continuum ranging from prevention to repression.
The think tank, which will meet every three weeks and also intends to work with "experts" on various themes, from "terrorism" to "immigration", including "police-justice reports", meets two objectives : make a voice heard "in defense of security actors" and formulate proposals.
A completely assumed line. “It must be a real circle of influence,” says Linda Kebbab. If they do not want to influence the presidential election, the founders fully intend to be able to give an opinion, "but without playing political politics", nuance Bruno Pomart. "Security is neither on the right nor on the left," confirmed Frédéric Péchenard, specifying that, "in all likelihood, we will not support the same candidate".
