Firefighters in France are expressing frustration over a proposed bill aimed at modernizing civil security, claiming it fails to address their most pressing concerns. Grégory Vercoutre, deputy secretary general of the Autonomous Federation SPP-PATS, stated on franceinfo on September 27 that the bill "does not address any of our difficulties." The organization has called for demonstrations on Sunday and Monday to highlight the lack of resources available to firefighters, with plans to also participate in the public sector action day on Tuesday. The government had previously promised to provide new resources to firefighters following a meeting in mid-August at the Ministry of the Interior. Laurent Nuñez, a government official, presented the future bill on the modernization of civil security to professionals. However, Vercoutre criticized this as "political showmanship," saying it lacks a genuine commitment to addressing future challenges in civil security, particularly in the context of climate change. Vercoutre emphasized that if the law had been in place before the recent forest fires, it would not have resolved any of the issues faced this summer. He estimates that 20,000 additional professional firefighters should be recruited. He called on the government to take legislative action to increase the number of firefighters, criticizing it for "always hiding behind the free administration of local authorities" instead of imposing obligations on local governments to recruit more firefighters. Firefighters are mobilizing through their intersyndical organization, holding speeches and static demonstrations in Paris until Monday. They will then join a national demonstration on Tuesday to support the public sector and push for the resources they believe are essential for their work.
