Four police cars were set on fire in front of the Cavaillon police station during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday. The prefect and the Minister of the Interior believe that this is retaliation by drug traffickers after a Place Nette operation in recent days. Bruno Retailleau reacted: “The State will not allow itself to be intimidated and we will intensify our fight against drug banditry. I will place the fight against organized crime at the center of my concerns because it constitutes an attack on our institutions”.
The president of the region Renaud Muselier accused on the social network “those who want to impose the law of the underworld, the law of drugs, against that of the Republic.”
The deputy National Gathering de Cavaillon Bénédicte Auzanot believes that “it’s a attack against the state and its representatives. France is paying for decades of judicial laxity”. She asks “action, action, action”.
Senator Les Républicains de Cavaillon explains in a press release that it is necessary “hit hard, resist and stand in the face of reprisals!”
Reaction from police unions
Rudy Manna, spokesperson for the police union Alliance mentioned “France burning. France without authority France without sanction. Support for Cavaillon’s colleagues”. Linda Kebab, the national secretary of union Unit stressed that “the work of police officers against drug trafficking disturbs criminals.”
