“We have changed dimension” in terms of organized crime, believes Didier Migaud

Is drug trafficking gaining ground in France? In recent weeks, violence linked to drug trafficking has continued to increase, particularly in Rennes and even Poitiers, two cities particularly affected recently. In Brittany, a five-year-old child was seriously injured by gunfire, the collateral victim of a drug-related shooting. In Vienne, five teenagers were injured at the end of October, including one who died hours after the tragedy.

Faced with this violence, the Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau, did not remain without reacting. “We are at a tipping point, and this tipping point imposes choices on us. Either there is a general mobilization, or there is the Mexicanization of the country. This is the choice that we have before us “, insisted the new tenant of Beauvau. A point of view shared by Didier Migaud, guest this Thursday morning on the Great Europe 1-CNews interview.

“They will find an extremely firm Minister of Justice”

At the microphone of Sonia Mabrouk, the Minister of Justice recognized that this “organized crime has changed dimension”. “We were in Marseille with the Minister of the Interior. We have working meetings with the judicial police and with the magistrates. What they tell us is horrible: delinquents who use torture, barbarity, on a certain number of people, on families, we have changed dimension,” insisted Didier Migaud at the microphone of Europe 1.

According to him, “the State must arm itself more to fight against this organized crime.” The Minister of Justice recalled the words of the Marseille magistrates before the commission of inquiry, affirming “that we were losing the war”. “I am happy that they expressed themselves freely. I prefer that we can see the reality, because from the moment you see the reality, you can better fight it,” he pointed out. .

The Minister of Justice believes that it is “essential to provide ourselves with the means to ensure that the State can rearm itself in the face of this delinquency”. “And there, they will find a Minister of Justice who will be extremely firm,” concluded Didier Migaud.
