Matthieu Valet denounced the management of law enforcement during the violence at the Place de la Bastille in Paris. He claimed that the CRS 8 was protecting the Panthéon, where Emmanuel Macron was with the German federal president, while clashes were taking place at Bastille, and deemed this situation unacceptable. He also indicated that the police started their shift at 6 AM and that the administration only provided them with an applesauce and a piece of fruit to last through the day. According to him, they were asked to face stones and Molotov cocktails without being provided a proper meal. Valet challenged the statements that the events had gone well, apart from a few incidents at the end of the day. He asserted that a chimney had been thrown from a building onto police officers at Bastille and that a police station in Bordeaux had been set on fire while police officers were inside. He stated that violent individuals wanted to kill police officers and praised the work of police officers and gendarmes. #Bastille #Police #France (translated)
