Question 16069 — public order

Summary

Mr. Julien Aubert draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the exact number of injured recorded since the start of the “Yellow Vest” demonstrations. Indeed, the broadcast of videos showing demonstrators and police officers injured during demonstrations raises questions about the management of law and order. According to certain press outlets, since the start of the mobilizations there have been nearly 2,000 injured on the side of the demonstrators, including at least 90 seriously injured, and nearly 1,000 injured on the police side. Everyone is aware that the particular violence suffered was caused by the repeated infiltration of thugs into these mobilizations nor the courage with which the police had to face them. However, these figures, if they were proven, call on the Government to profoundly question its police management of the crisis. It should be noted the national police and gendarmerie now use the “LDB 40”, a defense ball launcher replacing the traditional “flash ball” for its greater range and precision. However, this defense weapon is still strongly criticized for its use during demonstrations due to the injuries it inflicts. This is why he asks him to kindly confirm or deny the above-mentioned figures. Also, he would like know the exact number of injured during the demonstrations by counting those who were demonstrators from those who were not involved in the demonstration. Finally, he asks him to specify the number of injured by the “LDB 40” as well as a precise count of the number of injured among the police.
