New auditions. The commission of inquiry of the National Assembly audition Tuesday the director of cabinet of the Elysee, Patrick Strzoda, and his counterpart of the Interior, Stéphane Fratacci. In the Senate, the commission of laws will hear Gérard Collomb late Tuesday afternoon, then Patrick Strzoda Wednesday, and finally Alexis Kohler, secretary general of the Elysee, Thursday.
Evasive collomb against the deputies. Heard for more than two hours in the Assembly on Monday, the Minister of the Interior badured that he was "not aware" of a possible authorization granted to Alexandre Benalla for attend law enforcement on May 1st. He also stated that he did not personally know the former collaborator of Emmanuel Macron, and that he "did not know his status as adviser to the president" . Gerard Collomb also estimated that it was not up to him to appeal to the courts about his violent acts.
"No authorization" from the police headquarters. The hearing of Gérard Collomb by the Assembly's Law Commission was followed by that of the Paris Prefect of Police, Michel Delpuech. The latter denounced "an unhealthy cronyism" and badured that he had "never been solicited" to authorize Alexander Benalla to be alongside the police on May 1st. Alain Gibelin, Director of Public Order and Traffic (DOPC), also confirmed these remarks to the deputies.
The two demonstrators are civil parties. The two young people filmed being shot by Alexandre Benalla, at a rally in Paris on May 1st, asked to be civil parties in the ongoing judicial investigation, just like a police union. The protesters struck "do not want to be involved in the state affair, but simply to be heard fairly quickly by justice to be recognized as victims of police violence", said their lawyer.
Emmanuel Macron soon auditioned? Criticized for his silence on the case, the head of state has canceled his trip to the Tour de France, scheduled for Wednesday. Former presidential candidates Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Benoît Hamon have each asked that the head of state is also auditioned in the context of this investigation.
