The prefect of Morbihan Patrice Faure announced Friday the ban on the sale of alcohol to take away, excluding beer and wine, to fight against domestic violence.
"It is clear that the duo alcohol-containment goes badly together," said Mr. Faure in a video posted on YouTube, referring to domestic violence up "30% in a few days".
“The very numerous interventions by the police are almost always done against a background of alcohol. It is obviously not bearable, first for the victims but also for society, "he adds.
The prefect therefore announces the ban from Friday on the sale of take-away alcohol "other than wine and beer" in the Breton department. "It is in the interest of individuals and families," he said.
On March 24, the Aisne prefecture had also announced the ban on the sale of alcohol before reversing in the evening. To explain this sudden reversal, the prefecture had invoked "discussions with addictologists on certain possible negative consequences of a generalized measure, even a very temporary one".
