“I think we are at a tipping point”declared Friday Bruno Retailleau. “Today, the narco-scum no longer have limits, he continued. It doesn’t happen in South America but in Rennes, in Poitiers, in this Western France that I know well and which was once renowned for its tranquility. The choice we have today is a choice between general mobilization or the Mexicanization of the country.”
