French Govt to Recruit 3000 Green Police over Climate Change Gerald Darmanin, who serves as France's Minister of the Interior, has announced that he aims to create 3,000 posts for new "green police" officials, a move that he has deemed necessary in the face to tackle climate change. News of the potential creation of these new posts in France follows calls from European Union bigwigs for the creation of a bloc-wide "Civil Protection Force" (https://bit.ly/3QJ2O2O) to fight the effects of climate change under the control of Brussels, a move slammed by some as an attempt by Eurocrats to hoard even more power. In an interview (https://bit.ly/3Kdq2eX) with Le Journal du Dimanche, Darmanin justified the creation of 3,000 new posts specifically aimed at green-related criminal issues by citing the effects climate change was having on France, especially in regard to forest fires, nine out of ten of which have allegedly been caused by human activity. "Faced with this, we must improve the work of judicial investigation," the journal reports the politician as saying. "We have therefore decided to massively reinforce the resources of the Central Office for the Fight against Damage to the Environment and to launch 3,000 "green police" posts," he continued. "The objective is that, in each gendarmerie brigade, there are gendarmes trained in attacks on ecology." "It will be a revolution," Darmanin added.
