While this weekend mortar fire was launched against drug addicts in the nineteenth, the LREM deputy of the 16th district of Pa


Real good idea or nice provocation? This Tuesday, the LREM deputy of the 16th district, Mounir Mahjoubi has just sent a letter to the mayor of Paris (PS) Anne Hidalgo and to the mayor (LR) of the 7th district, Rachida Dati, to suggest that they open a room shoot at Place des Invalides, a few meters from the National Assembly. At the same time as the installation of this reception and support center for the reduction of risks for drug users (Caarud), the deputy asks the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin to "carry out a policy of intensive police checks and systematic towards anyone under the obvious influence of crack on the public highway ”in the districts of Stalingrad, Eole and Porte d'Aubervilliers.

“Anyone who has been tested

for drugs

would be offered a transfer to the new CAARUD

(Editor's note: Reception and support center for risk reduction for drug users)

in the 7th district and in the event of a refusal, they would be taken to the police station.

We do it well for people in a state of intoxication on the public highway since they represent a danger for themselves and for others.

We can do it for those under the influence of drugs! "

insists the deputy.

The elected representative of the 19th century decided to submit this proposal following the new incidents which took place last weekend in Stalingrad.

Mortar fire at drug users

During two nights, the tension rose a notch in this district plagued by traffic for years.

Fireworks mortar fire targeting the consumers of cracks who regularly occupy the premises resounded in the nights from Friday to Saturday and then from Saturday to Sunday.

The police headquarters announced the opening of an investigation to determine the origin of the shootings.

Already last year, the deputy for the 16th district, ex-candidate (LREM) for mayor of Paris had sent a letter to the mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, asking for new developments, strengthening of lighting and securing Avenue de Flandre, a place of withdrawal for drug addicts.

"My proposals have unfortunately remained dead letters, and today we must undergo an extreme and palpable tension in the district of Stalingrad", regrets the deputy in the letter which he sends this evening to Anne Hidalgo.

The City of Paris implemented a “crack plan” in 2019. Reinforcement of patrols, opening of permanent accommodation places and medico-social care for consumers of this cheap drug have thus been developed.

But these measures are no longer sufficient to stem the problem in a district which has become, according to the mayor (PS) of the 19th century François Dagnaud, the French or even European scene of crack users.

Remove crackers by sending them to the Invalides

“The inhabitants of these neighborhoods have the right to a break. Yes, we must support and take care of drug users, but we must already move them away from the North East of Paris. And open a new CAARUD in a neighborhood where there are no shops or residents. Hence my proposal for the Place des Invalides. I know the area very well since I work there! ” loose the deputy.

The mayor (LR) of the 7th Rachida Dati and President of the Changer Paris group at the Paris Council deplored on Twitter neighborhoods that had become "lawless areas" following the incidents of this weekend in the 19th century and regretted the lack of reaction from the mayor of Paris.

Will she appreciate the idea of ​​MP LREM?

"We are neither she nor I candidate for anything", observes the deputy.

“It was after carrying out an impact study that my choice fell on the Place des Invalides.

The center would be installed on the place where food distributions take place, not where Parisians sometimes meet to organize their picnic ”, takes care to specify the former Secretary of State for Digital.

"Find therapeutic and safe solutions"

If this Tuesday evening Rachida Dati was blocked in the National Investiture Commission (CNI) - to mention in particular the case of Renaud Muselier - François-Marie Didier, councilor of Paris and candidate for the partial legislative in the XXth arrondissement (May 30 and June 6 ), spoke on behalf of the LR: “Mounir Mahjoubi failed in the municipal as well as in the government and now he wants to expatriate a problem elsewhere in Paris. But shooting rooms are places that fix the dealers and become hubs for all trafficking including prostitution. We cannot abandon the residents of these neighborhoods. But the solution is not a new room in the 7th, 16th or elsewhere, but to put in place therapeutic and safe solutions. ”
