It is unworthy from the point of view of the role that this commission should play denounced Alexis Corbière, LFI deputy of Seine-Saint-Denis, at the end of the hearing of Mr. Collomb. One must audition the President of the Republic " he added.

" The prefect of police seems to know better Benalla than the minister of the interior " underlined Boris Vallaud, deputy PS of the Landes – several parliamentarians noted the clarity of the responses of the prefect of police of Paris, Michel Delpuech, compared to those of Mr. Collomb, auditioned earlier in the day.
