Almost a year barely after his arrival as interdepartmental director of the national police of Hérault -DIPN 34-, the general controller Marjorie Ghizoli leaves for Nouméa.

She will reach the capital of the New Caledonia in the coming weeks to occupy the same functions, visibly much more difficult to manage a particularly violent situation on this South Pacific archipelago and French overseas territory. Located on the main island, Grande-Terre, Nouméa, 120,000 inhabitants, is known for its beaches and the marriage of its French and Kanak influences, an indigenous people. But above all for its permanent tensions exacerbated in recent months.

The information which is not yet official is confirmed this Monday October 21, 2024 at Metropolitan by union sources in Montpellier and Paris, believing they knew that, “Marjorie Ghizoli requested her transfer”. For what reasons when on average a stay in DIPN is a minimum of three years? Mystery for now.

His departure to New Caledonia comes in the wake of the appointment of Bruno Retailleau, the Minister of the Interior in the government of Michel Barnier, the successor of Gérald Darmanin and while this archipelago is on fire and sinking into a deep crisis: the curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. is extended until Monday November 4, 2024, with the sale of alcohol prohibited to the population.

New Caledonia has been facing violence since last May. The Minister for Overseas Territories, François-Noël Buffet, completed his first trip there this Saturday by insisting that the time for a “return to dialogue” had come. The time has come for the return of dialogue, of discussion, of exchange, after the terrible, not to say appalling, events that New Caledonia has just experienced,” he assured.

“She did a good job”

“Marjorie Ghizoli has undoubtedly accomplished a good job since her arrival in Hérault, in particular by reorganizing services to boost them, creating emulation in investigation groups to carry out difficult investigations, in particular by fighting against deal points, in close collaboration with the Interdepartmental judicial police serviceshe obtained good results in one year, we are really going to miss her,” analyzes a union delegate from here.

By accepting this challenge of being at the head of DIPN 34, Marjorie Ghizoli did not come to unknown territory, since she was in the past head of departmental security of Hérault, which became Local judicial police service since the recent controversial reform and the merger of the two services, SIPJ and SLPJ. A new challenge awaits the general commissioner in Kanak land, which is in the grip of great tensions, where according to our indiscretions, she would have good knowledge of this distant archipelago. We do not yet know the name of his or her successor at the head of DIPN 34.
