Mr. President of the Republic,
On behalf of my union, I denounced the falsification of crime figures in Marseille and that this allowed the Departmental Director of Public Security, Mr Jean-Marie SALANOVA, to receive bonuses, while facilitating his progress. Since then, Mr. SALANOVA, thanks to his "good" results, has become Central Director of Public Security.
We alerted the Director General of the National Police, Mr. Éric MORVAN, who decided to conduct an internal audit. As the latter agrees with us, he has made the choice not to communicate it to us or to make it public.
We therefore report on the IGPN platform that two police officers, Mr. SALANOVA and Mr. MORVAN, are likely to have committed a crime or misdemeanour: here false in writing and misappropriation of public funds, because the directors receive bonuses that can amount to several tens of thousands of euros, on these figures.
The Comptroller General, Head of the Investigation Coordination Unit, Mr David CHANTREUX, replied that: "Freedom of trade union expression does not release us from the duty of reserve or the obligation not to undermine the institution's credit. However, by expressly challenging the integrity of the Director General of the National Police, by imputing to him a participation in the offence of forgery in writing when it applies only to writings establishing proof of a right or fact having legal consequences (which is absolutely not the case with crime statistics, unlike the procedures covered by them), it seems to me that you are entering into a legally dangerous field, whether on a judicial or administrative level. »
Mr. President of the Republic, can you confirm that in the Ministry of the Interior and more particularly in the National Police, freedom of trade union expression no longer exists?
In the National Police, if the Director General is implicated, it is the latter, the alleged perpetrator, judge and party who will decide what action to take. In this case, there was no investigation into forgeries and misappropriation of public funds, but the whistleblower was held responsible for breach of the duty of confidentiality, damage to the credit and reputation of the National Police and lack of loyalty.
First, a first reflection on the IGPN itself. Indeed, in 2001, France signed a European police code of ethics which states in article 59: "the police must be accountable to the State, citizens and their representatives. It shall be subject to effective external control". Mr President of the Republic, we are aware of your attachment to Europe, so why does France not apply this text?
Moreover, the duty of confidentiality does not exist in Law 83-634, which is the basis for the status of the civil service and therefore of the police officers. Mr Anicet LE PORS, author of this law, reminds us again in 2012: "No, the obligation of reserve does not appear in the general status of civil servants. This is not an oversight, but a thoughtful decision made in 1983. Mr President of the Republic, does the hierarchy of standards still exist in France? If so, how can a decree, our 2014 Code of Ethics, go against the law by restricting freedom?
The conclusion of the IGPN speaks of a perilous terrain, which is a thinly veiled threat and attempt at intimidation. Is it your conception of social dialogue that trade union repression is your conception of social dialogue?
I was auditioned by the IGPN, for my union commitment and be sanctioned as a civil servant, even though I am very well rated professionally. Mr. President of the Republic, do you support the use of such coercive methods where the employer can sanction a union delegate when he exercises his mandate? Especially since the IGPN used falsified "evidence" to incriminate me in its proceedings.
My trade union organisation has referred the matter to the prosecutor to denounce these forgeries in public records and embezzlement of public funds, but for the moment the case seems to be blocked. Mr. President of the Republic, you assume that the Public Prosecutor's Office is under the orders of the executive branch, in which case could you give instructions so that this matter can progress impartially?
The Director General replied by filing a complaint of defamation, which was dismissed without further action, concerning our accusations against him. He also deceives by diverting the disciplinary procedure from its missions, in order to circumvent the prosecutor's decision.
Moreover, on behalf of my trade union organization, I denounced that Mr. Eric MORVAN, since his appointment as Director General of the National Police, has seen 60 of our colleagues commit suicide. He did nothing but simply did not look for any leaders and made a telegram on January 22, 2019. Our colleagues are dying while we have proposed avenues of reflection to put an end to this "massacre". Consequently, the Director is once again suing me for lack of loyalty, damage to the credit and reputation of the National Police and breach of the duty of confidentiality. Mr President of the Republic, do you support the fact that it is the whistleblower who is being disciplined, while my colleagues continue to die?
My organization has also denounced the serious breaches of the statutory doctor of Dr. FREY of SGAMI East: paradoxical injunctions, harassment, discrimination, blackmail, threats, intimidation, violations of medical confidentiality, etc. I am being prosecuted again for disciplinary action, but this time there is not even an investigation, I go directly to the disciplinary board. Mr President of the Republic, you who are a European, does Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights apply in France? If so, is there an exception in the National Police?
Dr. FREY also has me appear before the Metz court for defamation on February 28.
I note that senior officials use public money and public service for their personal vendetta. To defend ourselves we do not have the state coffers, unlike them. These repeated delaying procedures seem to have only one purpose, to prevent us from becoming trade unionists and to make us spend our limited financial resources, in the hope that we no longer have the money necessary to defend ourselves.
The IGPN told me at my hearing that "the procedure will go fast, because we are in a year of professional election and it must be completed before". This implies that the General Manager wants to sanction me beforehand.
The Disciplinary Board did not meet, but curiously following the positions taken by our union in the media on the management of the "yellow vest" demonstrations, the matter came up. Is it a means of coercion that you approve of, even though we simply want our purchasing power to increase and we want to become peacekeepers again and not law enforcement or OUR peacekeepers. Mr. President of the Republic, you who were Charlie, is that your conception of Freedom of Expression?
In fact, our organization had organized a rally of support on February 14, 2019, which we would declare and began to ask witnesses to come and be heard at the disciplinary board. Strangely enough, the board has been postponed to February 20. Mr. President of the Republic, do you support such "de facto Prince's practices", which have only one purpose: to prevent a demonstration of support from being organized and the arrival of witnesses in defence?
Finally, during my disciplinary council, I would be judged by the administration, which is prosecutor, judge and party, as well as the representatives of the majority unions "elected" during the last professional elections, against which 4 organizations, including VIGI. Department have filed complaints of fraud. To such an extent that the Ministry of the Interior must acknowledge that the sincerity of the election was distorted in the Chained Duck of 19 December 2019. Mr. President, is your conception of democracy the "stuffing" of the ballot boxes and the councils of disciplines acting as courts of the inquisition?
Mr President of the Republic, I can only assume that your staff have not informed you of all these facts, starting with Mr CASTANER, the Minister of the Interior. So I ask for your personal intervention to put an end to the persecutions of me as a whistleblower.
I would like to bring to your attention that I have ordered the administration to pay me the sum of 6500€ for its actions against me by a decision of the Versailles Administrative Court No 1504355, dated 5 March 2018. For the moment, despite a request to the Police Headquarters and a report to my director, the Ministry of the Interior refuses to implement the court decision. Mr President of the Republic, could you oblige the Minister of the Interior to pay me this sum, plus legal interest? Unless you confirm that the Laws of the Republic and judicial decisions do not apply to the Ministry of the Interior.
Finally, Mr President of the Republic, I renew a request for an audience with your authority to make proposals to put an end to the suffering of my colleagues, by reforming the National Police institution, which is recognized as structurally pathogenic by specialists and experts.
While waiting for a reply from you, please believe, Mr President of the Republic, in the expression of my best wishes.
Alexandre LANGLOIS
Secretary General
