Yannick Neuder (LR), a member of the 7th Isere constituency, responds to Caroline Abadie's latest security proposal (Renaissance 8th constituency).
"After Caroline Abadie's proposal to establish mobile gendarmerie brigades that cross my constituency and hers, I want to clarify this matter: I was surprised that an elected representative would put such a proposal on to the table, even though rural insecurity has been growing for many years. This, during a period when she was a majority parliamentarian and therefore able to take action. In addition, and even more recently, I have alerted Gerald Darmanin (Minister of the Interior) about the insufficient resources for security in his constituency. Also, the remoteness of services in the area. This has led me to ask fine for a reinforcement of the State gendarmerie brigades that operate in its district. Last but not least, I want to remind you that I spoke with the mayors about the strengthening of the means of the gendarmerie while on a trip with the elected officials from the villages around Lake Paladru. The summer season is well underway and there are 300,000 tourists expected to visit Lake Paladru this season. However, mayors have to make more of an effort in this area. Today, deputies from neighbouring constituencies, sometimes from the majority of them, made the same observation as I did and asked for an increase in the workforce for both their territory, and mine. While I'm pleased to see a consensus on this issue, I regret that we didn't wait to place safety at the top our priorities.
