Emmanuel Macron wants “independent control” of the action of the police – LCI

“Independent control” the action of the police. This is what Emmanuel Macron will announce on Tuesday on the occasion of the closure of the Beauvau de la sécurité, which was held in Roubaix. Goal ? Respond to recurring criticisms aimed at the IGPN (“font font “), the Elysee said on Monday, adding that it was in no way a new organization.

The terms of this “independent control” have not been specified. According to The Parisian, it could be external to the administration, and is not intended to replace the IGPN. A few months ago, in April, the Head of State had already drawn the contours of this control, evoking in an interview with Figaro the creation of a “parliamentary delegation in charge of the control (of) police forces”, like the delegation for intelligence.

Besides this “independent control “, other measures should be unveiled. This Monday, the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin convened the last round table of this vast consultation, whose objective stated by the executive was to “improve the conditions for the practice of law enforcement” and “consolidate the link with the French”, distended over the often violent demonstrations in recent years.

In total, 8 “worksites“were opened up, from the penal response to supervision, including training, control, law enforcement, the police / population link, video recording and resources, the last topic discussed on Monday. unions are now waiting “a real plan“for the police with a “large envelope“, warned Fabien Vanhemelryck on behalf of the Alliance union).

The executive promised to take back the conclusions of Beauvau for the development of a law of programming and orientation of internal security (LOPSI). But, as Gérald Darmanin said, this text can only be voted after the presidential and legislative elections and therefore remains suspended from a re-election of Emmanuel Macron. It should therefore first form the backbone of the security component of the presidential program of the Head of State campaigning for his re-election.
