"A widespread fed up that turns into anger"

.

In Lyon, the municipal police joined the procession of demonstrators against the pension reform, Thursday, March 23.

A union source announces

“significant follow-up, particularly among field operators”

, without giving figures.

They will repeat their action next Tuesday, a strike notice having been filed.

“We are civil servants, we are disciplined and obviously we will not sow disorder but we are waiting for answers to our questions”

, launches Bertrand, general delegate FO municipal police in the city of Lyon.

Among these questions is above all a national request to take advantage of the so-called 1/5th system that exists in the national police.

It allows an advantageous calculation of annuities by a bonus of one year every five years of contribution.

"We have the same risks, the same missions but are not considered"

, deplores the trade unionist.

“Climate of mistrust”

The movement was also followed in Strasbourg in particular.

But in Lyon, the mobilization also resumes on the embers of the tension with the town hall, which has not really fallen for several months.

The police are asking for an increase in the administrative and technical allowance, as well as reinforcements in the context of a shortage of municipal police officers and competition between municipalities on the working conditions offered.

“There is a strong climate of distrust of the municipal executive with sanctions and administrative investigations which multiply which give us the feeling of being abandoned”

, according to Bertrand.

If all the strikers will not necessarily come to swell the flow of demonstrators on Tuesday, due to the presence of antifa groups, according to the trade unionist, they could be missed by their colleagues from the national.

Municipal police officers are not allowed to participate in law enforcement operations, but they are present on the outskirts, to block certain streets, for example, and make traffic flow more fluid.
