Discuss on several themes

“I spoke with the Minister of the Interior and he will perhaps make a trip to Haute-Loire. We are working on it,” explained the Les Républicains MP. He notably indicated that he wanted to discuss two important issues with him: the security shield at the entrances to the department and the difficulty of having a viewing center for video surveillance images in the gendarmerie (which the law does not currently allow).

Mentioned by Laurent Wauquiez at the start of the year, during the wishes of the City of Puy, the transfer of the Ponot police station to the city center could also be another theme of the ministerial visit.
