Police in France are holding a “Black Thursday” of work stoppages and demonstrations to demand better pay and conditions during this summer’s Olympic Games.
The move came after one union received details from the interior ministry suggesting that every police officer in France would be mobilised during the two weeks of the Olympics, from 24 July to 11 August, and not be allowed to take holiday in that period.
French police would be allowed a total of 10 days’ holiday leave between 15 June and 15 September, but must otherwise be on duty.
Many regional police expect to be relocated to Paris for the Games and want assurances on housing and working hours.
Sylvain André, from the Alliance police union in Strasbourg, told France Inter: “Today there is still no detail except that 100% of police will be working 24 July to 11 August and we know a local contingent will be moved from Strasbourg to Paris, about 30% of staff.
A source in Darmanin’s entourage told Agence France-Presse that support measures for police would be finalised by the end of this month.
