Gabriel Attal visits the town of Viry-Châtillon in Essonne. The town was recently marked by the death of Shemseddine, 15, beaten near his college.
Attal delivers a speech on authority at the heart of the Republic. "France is hurting part of its youth. I want these dramas to stop. I'm talking about a spiral, an addiction, and no, we can't excuse it," he says. The Prime Minister reaffirmed his "total" determination in a video published on the social network X (formerly Twitter). He is accompanied by Ministers Nicole Belloubet (Education) and Éric Dupond-Moretti (Justice), and Secretary of State Sabrina Agresti-Roubache (City and Citizenship). He believes that "very often the first victim of youth violence is young people themselves" and "We need a burst of authority."
