Journalist Gavin Mortimer writes in The Spectator about the internal split in France between the police and the judiciary:
“Dissatisfaction among the police grew for many years - both among the younger and higher officials - regarding the fact that magistrates (judicial and administrative authorities in France - Polit.ru) in the country treat them with hostility. They believe that most representatives of the judiciary support the left and they are more concerned about the rights of victims, and not the support of police officers in their dangerous and difficult work.
The police clearly understand what hostility they have to deal with on behalf of the left-wing politicians, namely, from the party of Jean-Luke Melanchon “Unforted France”-and their views of the left are shared by the majority of the judicial authorities. The representative of the police union Lauren Martin de Fremon last week said that “I do not want to row everyone under the same comb, let's be honest. However, among the representatives of the judiciary there are some of the people who openly hate the police.”
<...> Lefts do not particularly sympathize with the police and share the views of the leader of the Socialist Party Olivier Fora, who accused the police of putting itself above the law (regarding the trial of the incident with three police officers in Marseille, who beat the protest participant - Polit.ru). On Friday, FOR called on the Minister of Internal Affairs of Gerald Darmanen, the head of the capital's police, Lauren Nunjuza and the director of the National Police Frederick, to resign for “incitement to rebellion” and “disrespect” to the republic.
<...> In the center of the confrontation between the police and the judicial power is Emmanuel Macron. He angered the police with his reaction to shooting with the murder of Nael, a teenager, whose death provoked pogroms and protests - he said that the actions of an officer of the police who shot in Nael were “inexplicable and unforgivable”.
