Regularly accused of a brutal policing policy, the executive responds by targeting thugs and, without naming them, the black blocs. The government “reflect” to how « s’adapter » to “new uses” of the “breakers” during the demonstrations, government spokesman Olivier Véran said on Wednesday May 3, after the Keeper of the Seals, Eric Dupond-Moretti, announced work on the subject with his interior counterpart, Gérald Darmanin.
“There is a double obligation. The obligation to guarantee the safety of those who demonstrate. And the obligation to ensure that those who are there to kill, to break, are put out of harm’s way and that they cannot participate in these events “explained Mr. Véran during the report of the Council of Ministers. “Does the legislative arsenal, does the law today allow this to be done? I remind you that in 2019, we adopted an important text which made it possible to have improvements “ more “we had not gone completely to the end”he continued, referring to the law adopted against the background of the crisis of “yellow vests” and of which the Constitutional Council had however censured certain measures, including the possibility for the prefects to pronounce administrative bans on demonstrations.
“No response at this stage” on the need for a new law, for the government spokesman. But “in any case, we are thinking about it”had declared, in the morning on RTL, Eric Dupond-Moretti, specifying that he would meet Gérald Darmanin Friday for ” work together “ on this topic.
“We are in a functioning democracy”
During the Council of Ministers, Emmanuel Macron made “the distinction between those who demonstrated, once again freely, and those who came to break, to kill. He recalled his support for the highly mobilized internal security forces. et “sometimes even ostracized by part of the political class”, “on the far left side”also said Mr. Véran.
“If justice is seized, systematically, it is because we are in a functioning democracy. And if there are people who are released, it is because we are in a functioning democracy”he also replied, when asked about the “violations of fundamental rights” denounced by the comptroller general of deprivation of liberty, Dominique Simonnot, for people arrested in Paris in demonstrations against the pension reform. “I invite each and everyone to moderation in the face of the exceptional violence that we have witnessed”he added.
