Security, the main theme of this presidential election?
The day after Emmanuel Macron's trip to Nice, during which the Head of State announced a battery of measures on this aspect with a budget of 15 billion euros additional, the spokespersons of Valérie Pécresse - Agnès Evren , Florence Portelli, Othman Nasrou, Aurélien Pradié and Guilhem Carayon - held a press conference this Tuesday, January 11, on the same subject.
During their intervention, at the candidate's campaign headquarters, they denounced the "

" which they considered little followed "
by acts
" by the President of the Republic.

Presidential 2022: where are the candidates in the polls?
While Emmanuel Macron promised to present this bill on security in March, Aurélien Pradié stressed that the work in the National Assembly "
ended
" this year on February 28, because of the presidential election. . And that they would only resume after the election of new parliamentarians in June. "
Emmanuel Macron sparks the French
," he shouts, specifying that
the "agenda
" of the National Assembly is "
particularly busy
" and that it would therefore be difficult to imagine that this bill could be discussed. "
It is a candidate president who uses the means of the State to campaign
", sanctioned Florence Portelli, mayor of Taverny.
A "
catastrophic record
"
Traveling last week in the Bouches-du-Rhône, Valérie Pécresse made a remarkable outing, believing that it was necessary "to bring the Kärcher out of the cellar" to
"clean up the neighborhoods"
and
"to restore order in the street ".
According to his spokespersons, Emmanuel Macron's announcements on this aspect are a response to the proposals of the right on sovereign matters.
“
He wakes up 90 days before the presidential election to tell us that there are problems of insecurity in the country.
A speech will not erase a record
, ”denounces Guilhem Carayon for example.

the campaign begins
"
For Agnès Evren, security is also the "
main Achilles heel
" of the President of the Republic, "
the blind spot
" of his five-year term. “
His record is catastrophic. He has completely deserted the field of security. The government appears authoritarian and has no difficulty restricting fundamental freedoms but lacks authority over offenders. Strong with the weak, weak with the strong
, ”she denounces.
According to her, the Head of State "
prolonged the inertia and inaction of François Hollande
".
“
We are emerging from a decade of disintegration of state authority.
The situation has deteriorated since the right is no longer responsible
, ”adds Othman Nasrou, who points to a“
spiral of insecurity
”.
Police forces more "
on the ground
" and "
better equipped
"
The spokespersons then recalled the various proposals of Valérie Pécresse on the security aspect: better distribution of police personnel in the field, law to modernize security and justice, new powers for the security forces, etc.
“
During the two previous five-year terms, the police force has increased considerably.
However, never has there been such a significant drop in elucidations and never have there been so few police officers on the ground
, ”blames Florence Portelli.
The Republicans therefore plead for the police to be more present "
on the ground
" and "
better equipped
".

Finally, the spokespersons insisted on another desire of the candidate: that of reforming the justice system so that the judgments are faster and that the sentences are carried out.
“
The Ministries of the Interior and of Justice must work hand in hand as links in the same chain.
This is not currently the case
, ”concludes Thibault de Montbrial, regal adviser to Patrick Stefanini, the campaign director of Valérie Pécresse.
