The director general’s support for the mobilization against the jailing of a Marseille policeman as part of an investigation into police violence has taken a leap to the left.
Outrage, heightened by the refusal of the head of state to comment on these statements, this Monday during his interview, broadcast on TF1 and France 2.
In a statement, Nupes calls for “the restoration of the republican order” and “respect for the rule of law.”

Outrage, heightened by the refusal of the head of state to comment on these statements, this Monday during his interview, broadcast on TF1 and France 2.

“Knowledge in prison prevents me from sleeping”, “in general, I think that until a possible trial, a police officer has no place in prison, even if he committed serious misconduct or mistakes in the course of his work”. Comments made on Sunday evening by National Police Director-General Frédéric Waugh regarding a police officer imprisoned as part of an investigation into police violence in early July riots signed by Paris Police Prefect Laurent Nunez are outrageous on the left.
They forced the executive branch to respond on Monday, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin assured that Frédéric Waugh “All [s]trust”and the President of the Republic, refusing to make any comment assuring New Caledonia that the rule of law must be respected and that “No one in the republic can be above the law”.

“The president courageously refuses to ‘comment’. The order must be republican. The power of the state is to resemble the rule of the police hierarchy”calculated the first secretary of the Socialist Party Olivier Faure, who on the eve judged “very seriously” What “the entire police hierarchy puts themselves above justice and the rules of pre-trial detention”. Emmanuel Macron ‘does not comment’ on attacks on justice by police chiefs. As if he was not at the top of the state the guarantor of institutions and their functioning.the MP François Ruffin, a member of the LFI group, was also surprised.
“During a police mutiny, the president (…) covers up excesses without supporting Justice. No sanctions, not even verbal ones. Abuse is encouraged. Terrible”, abounded insoumis Jean-Luc Mélenchon. In his blog, the former presidential candidate called “respect for the republican institutions of the police officers who joined the factional branch”. For her part, the head of the LFI deputies, Matilda Panot, pointed out that the prosecutor should be held accountable for facts that could constitute an offense on the basis of Article 40 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
At EELV, Marine Tondelier said she was waiting “from Macron that he has a very firm answer” about Frederick Waugh and regretted that “refused to do”. “I am very disappointed and even worried that he did not want or even dared to do this”she commented. “Actually, that would be nice. Even necessary.
The eternal gap between right and left
All Nupes have combined their votes to call for a press release “to the restoration of republican order in the police and the observance of the rule of law”. They condemn the speech of Frederic Vaux and Laurent Nunez. “extremely serious and disturbing”, “became possible due to the lack of reaction from the political authorities”. “What is happening before our eyes is extremely dangerous and disturbing for the rule of law and the foundations of our democracy”Write La France insoumise, PS and EELV. The PCF did not sign this press release, but called on the head of state to condemn “Inadmissible remarks by the Director General of the National Police”.
This case is a new illustration of the division between right and left regarding the police. Because at the same time, while the Renaissance is rather reticent on this issue, the Right supports the agents and their hierarchy. “The police cannot be satisfied with ‘simultaneously’. (…) They deserve clear and unequivocal support”, Republican President Eric Ciotti calculated. Frederic Calves “right”LR Senators boss Bruno Retaio tweeted. “A police officer should not be imprisoned before trial. Judicial review should be sufficient, especially when the alleged crimes were committed in the context of excessive police violence.”
