Death of Nahel, killed by police fire in NanterredossierIn a press release published on June 30, the two unions weighing nearly 50% among the police call for “imposing calm” on “these wild hordes”, threatening to enter “in resistance”. The left is indignant at a “call for civil war”.
“Today, the police are in combat because we are at war”. In a joint statement with bellicose accents published Friday, June 30, the two police unions Alliance and Unsa-Police call for “imposing” calm on the young rioters, described as “wild hordes”. “The time is not for union action, but for the fight against these ‘harmful'”, write the two unions, which represent 49.45% of the police. A violent lexicon supposed to designate the people participating in the violence and damage that has occurred since the death of young Nahel, killed by police fire on Tuesday. By way of conclusion, the two organizations warn: “Tomorrow we will be in resistance and the Government will have to become aware of it”.
On the left, the statement made the leaders jump. “A call for civil war”, thunders the national secretary of EE-LV, Marine Tondelier, “a threat of sedition” abounds the ecologist deputy Sandrine Rousseau, joined in the use of this term by the communist Fabien Roussel. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, for his part, called on the unions “who call for civil war” to “shut up”: “We have seen the murderous behavior that this kind of remark leads to. The political power must take control of the police”. The rebellious MP Nadège Abomangoli worries in turn about a “lexical field of war [qui] animalizes the citizens of the suburbs”. “The rebels don’t even hide anymore,” she says.
A real call to sedition.
Police officers are there to protect citizens and uphold civil peace, not to sow the seeds of civil war. @GDarmanin be intractable with those who have abandoned the principles of the Republic. pic.twitter.com/5xl44pnmla

Alliance defends itself from any threat
A press release whose tone mixes the claim with the threat. The two organizations conclude their text as follows: once “the rule of law has been restored […] the police will judge the height of the consideration given to their claims. Without further details.
Asked by Libé about this disturbing rhetoric, the secretary general of the very right-wing Alliance union, Fabien Vanhemelryck, replied that his union and Unsa-Police “simply said that as responsible and republican union representatives, the time for Union action has no place. Why did we say that? Because there are certain small groups in the national police who are asking to lay down their arms at a time when the country is in danger, when we are close to an insurrection.
Invited to explain the announcement of an entry into “resistance” of which the “government will have to be aware”, the union representative assures not to go on the paths of the threat: “What we say at the end c It is that at the end of this urban violence, the hour of union action will have come, the hour of the balance of power will have come. Demanding “lasting solutions, strong and concrete measures”, he pushes: “We no longer want to live this kind of thing [une situation d’émeute, ndlr].” The use of warrior vocabulary being justified in view of the “urban guerrilla” situation with which the police have been confronted since the death of young Nahel. Guest of 8 p.m. on TF1 in the process, Gérald Darmanin dissociated himself lip service from the form used by the two organizations: “I will not argue. These are not my words.”
