“When we want to restore order, there is a social dimension”
« Restoring republican order is not for people who are rich, it is often for people who are modest », replied the Minister of the Interior. “ It's often for people like you, who have a hard-working life, and it's you who bears the consequences of the mess. When it's the law of the strongest, when it's the law of the jungle, the one who toasts is the weakest. […] When we want to restore order, there is a social dimension », added Bruno Retailleau.
Following this exchange, the Minister of the Interior announced the arrival of a new CRS company, which will take over from the CRS 82 already present on site. “ What we are also going to do is break up an ecosystem […] We must hit drug traffickers in the wallet. We must bring together the tax authorities, Urssaf, the labor inspectorate, customs, to hit them in the wallet », Also indicated Bruno Retailleau, quoted by France 3 Bretagne. Finally, the tenant of Place Beauvau said he was in favor of the creation of a national anti-narcotics prosecutor's office, which would be modeled on the national anti-terrorism prosecutor's office.
