News of the day: Emmanuel Macron unveils his proposals on security
With less than three months of the presidential election, security returns as one of the central themes of the campaign. Generalization of fixed fines, doubling of the police presence in transport, training in cybersecurity… Emmanuel Macron detailed Monday, January 10, in Nice, his proposals, although he is not yet officially a candidate. In front of elected officials and associations, the President of the Republic reiterated his intention to want “Double the police on the ground by 2030”.
Among the myriad of proposals, Emmanuel Macron announced in particular a generalization of tort lump sum fines for offenses punishable by sentences of less than one year in prison. The Head of State intends to double the police presence in transport and said he wanted to triple the fine for street harassment to 300 euros, an act which will be described as “Misdemeanor”. In August 2018, a sexist contempt offense was created by law to punish street harassment, but without making it a crime.
So many devices that could be integrated into the future security text for the years 2022-2027, for which Emmanuel Macron plans to present a bill to the Council of Ministers in March – with a view to potential adoption after the ‘presidential election. An increase in the security budget would be provided, of fifteen billion euros over five years, or, according to the Elysee, a 25% increase in the current budget.
Eric Ciotti, a member of the department and “adviser to the authorities” of the candidate of the Republican party, Valérie Pécresse, strongly disliked this trip to the Alpes-Maritimes. Mr. Ciotti was not present, as is the Republican tradition, to welcome the President of the Republic, and at the same time he went to the prison of Nice. “Macron’s failure in terms of security is that of the bankruptcy of the ‘at the same time’ security”, criticized the deputy earlier in an interview to Figaro. “Emmanuel Macron left society to run wild and will leave the French with a France Clockwork Orange », still estimated the finalist of the LR congress.
