L'hommage de la Nation au policier Xavier Jugelé

LE FIGARO: Le chef de l'État a rendu un hommage national au policier assassiné jeudi soir sur les Champs-Élysées. Il a appelé son sucesseur à donner «les ressources budgétaires nécessaires pour recruter les personnels indispensables à la protection de nos concitoyens».

À 11 heures ce mardi matin, la République avait rendez-vous dans la cour d'honneur du 19 août de la Préfecture de police de Paris, au coeur de l'île de la Cité, à quelques pas du palais de justice, pour rendre hommage à Xavier Jugelé, le policier tué jeudi sur les Champs-Élysées. Le lieu est symbolique: son nom rend hommage au soulèvement de la préfecture, aux gardiens de la paix qui ont combattu pour la libération de Paris lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale pendant laquelle 177 policiers avaient trouvé la mort. Symbolique aussi car c'est dans cette même cour qu'avait eu lieu l'hommage des trois policiers - Clarissa Jean-Philippe, Franck Brinsolaro et Ahmed Merabet - tombés le 7 janvier 2015 sous les balles des frères Coulibaly, ceux-là même qui avaient perpétré le carnage à Charlie Hebdo. » | Par Anne Jouan | mardi 23 avril 2017

Xavier Jugelé, 37, Officer Killed in Paris, Was Defender of Gay Rights

THE NEW YORK TIMES: PARIS — He was a proud gay man and a committed policeman.

He was among the officers who responded to a terrorist attack at the Bataclan concert hall in November 2015, and he was in the crowd when Sting helped reopen the 19th-century building a year later.

Xavier Jugelé, 37, a Paris police officer since 2010, himself fell victim to terrorism Thursday evening. He was in a police vehicle on the heavily guarded Champs-Élysées, Paris’s most famous boulevard, when a gunman opened fire, killing him and wounding two other officers, along with a bystander.

The gunman was shot dead as he tried to flee; the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack a short while later.

Officer Jugelé was mourned on Friday by friends and fellow officers. » | Lilia Blaise | Friday, April 21, 2017
