Valérie Pécresse castigated Emmanuel Macron “the candidate of gossip” on security, Friday in Rognac (Bouches-du-Rhône) where she came to affirm her firmness on the sovereign in the final stretch of the presidential campaign. “The state promises, it can’t do it, it’s really the five-year period of gossip” affirmed the candidate LR hammering, in the south tempted by the RN vote: “it’s the right that does the security” .
Distanced in the polls, competed on the economy by the promises of Emmanuel Macron, Valérie Pécresse was to meet police and retirees on purchasing power: “I campaign on two feet, the sovereign and the promise of 10% increase salaries, but I do it by financing my project, not by promising anything and everything“, she assured during a press briefing. Between the immobility of Emmanuel Macron and the demagogy of Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, there is a third way”, she added, setting out her proposals for minimum sentences and additional means for the police and Justice.
Night visit in the northern districts of Marseille
Without using the expression of “Kärcher” used in January in Salon-de-Provence, she promised to “put everything back together” because “fear must change sides” and “we need zero impunity”. After a night visit to the northern districts of Marseille on Thursday, Valérie Pécresse began her trip on Friday to the urban security center (CSU) in Rognac, a city of 13,000 inhabitants equipped with 128 cameras, where she praised a “real security tool “. “I’m not going to throw flowers at myself but we are ten days away from the elections: it was I who financed the big CSU at the police headquarters which concentrates 30,000 cameras”, she launched, in reference to the 50 % financed by the Ile-de-France region.
She also defended the use of drones, describing as “heresy” their ban on municipal police by the Constitutional Council. Asked about the presumption of self-defense of the police, Valérie Pécresse considered “important that fear can be taken into account by the judge”. But “it’s not a right to self-defense,” she said. The candidate, who regularly quotes the film “Bac nord” in her speeches, recalled her desire to make the municipal police a “third force”, and assured the police of her “unwavering support” because “never, I, president of the Republic, I will not speak of police violence”.
