"I know, you estimate gendarmes, that you do not have the easiest job. I know that there is still more work to be done to become among the most beloved people and I urge you to do your job in the spirit of the law. I can guarantee you that together we will be able to win back the citizens' trust. The barometer of your professionalism is the citizen, and the citizens must be satisfied that we are at their service," said Vela.
