Castaner under the pressure of police officers in anger

Christophe Castaner dance on a volcano, and the police do not intend to let it fall the pressure. Regardless of their rank, and their direction of affiliation, they say they are livid at the remarks made on Monday by the minister of the Interior, who, in the name of "zero tolerance", has evoked sanctions in case of "suspicion of racism proven" and announced the end of the method called "throttling". Anxious to extinguish the fire that he himself has triggered, the host of Beauvau has attempted to be cleared. As of Thursday, ahead of the unions of guards and officers, which is heated to white by the base, he would have regretted, according to one participant, a "communication poorly prepared" and promised that the disciplinary decisions refer only to "facts that were proven and characterized".

In this exercise of contrition forced, one participant described as "hesitant" and "embarrassed". According to our information, the minister would not have come back on the prohibition of the"bottleneck", as the police refer to it as the "control head". "This technique to put pressure on the trachea should stay prohibited and cannot be taught in the schools," says a source informed. On the other hand, a working group is called upon to be put in place to improve the technical interventions, knowing that a "hold-back", to be carried out this time "without pressure blood", would be permitted. Late Friday afternoon, after receiving this time the representatives of the officers and commissioners of police, the minister of the Interior attempted to "dispel misunderstandings". In the evening, or on Saturday morning, he had to send a press release, the focus.

will This be enough to calm the storm? In the ranks there is a bronca with a rare intensity. Friday, on the avenue des Champs-Élysées that of the cords of security and so far they have looped every weekend for months to avoid the arrival of the "yellow vests", a score of white vans luxurious panels of police trade unions have progressed in a concert of horn up to the place Beauvau, behind a banner stating: "No police, no peace". Never seen that before. In Nice, Lille and Lyon, but also in the Hauts-de-Seine, Val-de-Marne, or even in front of the prefecture of Seine-Saint-Denis, officials angry have filed their handcuffs to the floor. A symbolic way to say, even under the windows of the ministry of the Interior, that they intended to put in brackets the hunt for thugs and arrests. And no longer respond to calls, "urgent and important". A form of minimum service barely disguised in a profession where the right to strike is prohibited.

Rumours of a reshuffle

Already criticized for his sermons of conduct in march last, and by the polemic of the masks during the containment, Christophe Castaner is weakened by this rebellion, which comes as a swollen rumours of reshuffle and new protests against "police violence" are planned Saturday.

"We came to tell the president Macron that it must support, respect, look to his police. The police is not racist, the police is republican (...), it does not choose his or her offending behaviour, it does not choose the color of crime", was annoyed Fabien Vanhemelryck, general secretary of the union Alliance, at two steps from the Elysée palace. Where, on the eve of an allowance presidential very expected by Sunday, the professional organizations expect answers quickly.
