Today, the police were waiting for concrete answers from the authorities. Raoul Moulin, CSC-Police Permanent Secretary, at the microphone of Emmanuel Dupont: “People are overly disappointed. They are also angry and waiting. The Vivaldi government has every interest in moving towards this expectation. People might not understand that we come to make promises of intention and that things cannot be achieved within a reasonable time.
A consultation took place at 1 p.m. between the police unions and the federal government. Eddy Quanio, CGSP delegate: “We have not yet seen anything from the Minister of the Interior and the Prime Minister in relation to the police service. There, there is an expectation. We are talking regarding the attractiveness of the police profession, we are talking regarding the end of your career. These are aspects of which expect much more respect from the government.”
The meeting ended shortly following 3 p.m. No agreement was reached between unions and the government. The police are already announcing new actions.
