A sensitive subject. This Monday, November 4, Prisca Thevenot and Louis Boyard were both invited to the franceinfo antenna, to debate on different current topics. Among them, the management of drug trafficking. After questioning the deployment of the army in sensitive neighborhoods, as suggested by Macronist MP Karl Olive, the former president of the National High School Union hit the nail on the head: “We must nevertheless note a bankruptcy on the part of the French State on the policy which has been carried out over the last thirty or forty years“, he lashed out, before continuing: “It is only in France that we are completely repressive and yet, France is the leading country consuming cannabis. So we see today that the policy of repression does not work and forces us into a cycle of violence which is absolutely unbearable.“, observed the one who is in favor of the legalization of cannabis.

Two days after the announcement of Michel Barnier's new government, the transfer of power took place this Monday, September 23. Spokesperson for the executive for eight months, Prisca Thevenot gave way to Maud Bregeon, the voice of the presidential party since 2020. During her farewell speech at the Hôtel Rothelin-Charolais, the recently re-elected MP in Hauts-de-Seine had a thought for his children, after having spoken with emotion of his dual nationality. “I am proof that you can be binational and deeply patriotic French. Because yes, this sense of homeland, this love of France, I received it as an inheritance“, she first recalled, before continuing on a tender note: “And I commit, in turn, in each of my actions, to transmit it to my children, Paul and Basile, whom I believe you all know widely and whom I embrace very strongly because they are at this moment in the school canteen (laughs).”
