“No, the police are not racist”, persists the prefect of police Laurent Nuñez
“I do not share the link that has been made between the tragedy that took place and a police that would be racist. No, the police are not racist”, hammered the prefect of police Laurent Nuñez, in response to the speech of Nicolas Bonnet Oulaldj, elected from the Communist and Citizen group.
“There may be slippages, they are sanctioned, they are punished,” he continued.
At the end of last week, the UN nevertheless called on France to “seriously tackle the deep problems of racism and racial discrimination among the police”.
These statements caused great tension in the hemicycle. The meeting is suspended for the time being.

“Friendship and support” to Vincent Jeanbrun, mayor of Haÿ-les-Roses
The Council begins with a point on the revolts having taken place in recent days in several French cities, and particularly in the Paris region, following the death of Nahel, in Nanterre, targeted by the shooting of a police officer on June 27.
“The death of young Nahel a week ago is a tragedy that has upset us all, a 17-year-old should never die,” first recalled the mayor of Paris (PS) Anne Hidalgo.
The city councilor also wanted to bring “friendship and support” to the mayor of Haÿ-les-Roses, Vincent Jeanbrun, who was the subject of a ram attack, on the night of Saturday to Sunday.
