“Narcoscum are everywhere. We will have to fight them with implacable determination”. Using numerous neologisms, the tenant of Place Beauvau announced that he wanted new legislation to fight against drug traffickers.

Indeed, according to the Minister of the Interior, this shooting, which involved between 400 and 600 people, would be “linked to drug trafficking”. On BFMTV-RMC, the latter indicated “We are at a tipping point”. But then who are these famous delinquents? For the minister, it is about “individuals, traffickers who use the most ferocious and violent means to settle scores and satisfy their greed.” Faced with this situation pointed out by Retailleau, the latter wants a structural response through a legal text.
France addicted to repression?
“I saw the Prime Minister yesterday and Didier Migaud [ministre de la Justice] was there, I know it is attached to a new text”he said on BFMTV. In addition to a new text, the minister, who sees a continuity between consumers and murders linked to trafficking, also wants to further penalize people who consume. “I defend a culture of accountability.”
