It’s a surprising nomination. Didier Lallement was appointed this Monday General Secretary of the Sea in the Council of Ministers. The 65-year-old former Paris police chief, criticized for his controversial vision of maintaining order, assumed this position in March 2019, after the looting of the Champs-Elysées avenue during a mobilization of yellow vests.
Dejected by the Champions League final fiasco at the Stade de France at the end of May, he left his post his duties on July 21 last, replaced by Laurent Núñez. Long before this event, the sixty-year-old had expressed his desire to leave the police headquarters to return to the Court of Accounts, where he had been assigned in 2014, before retiring definitively.
“Control”, “evaluation”, “prospective” on maritime policy
At the General Secretariat for the Sea, Didier Lallement will carry out “a mission of control, evaluation and forecasting” in matters of maritime policy.
The organization is associated “with the development of public policies related to the sea and the coast and ensures that government decisions are designed and applied in close consultation with all interested professionals, in order to guarantee the harmonious development of the various maritime activities “specifies the government site.
At the beginning of September, a judge began to investigate the episode of the Nassés yellow vests in Paris in 2019, when Didier Lallement was in charge of the police headquarters. Other judicial information also indicates him for “arbitrary detention.”
