Several members of the majority, including Jean-Baptiste Moreau, general rapporteur of the fact-finding mission, believe that this would reduce the delinquency linked to this traffic and better control of consumers.

Should this report be ratified by law?

"No",

Eric Diard clearly decided Wednesday on the set of "Talk Le Figaro".

If he is not

"windward"

on the subject, he is against, at this stage,

"because we (him) have not sufficiently proven that the legalization of cannabis would stop trafficking and consumption".

There is funding from abroad or from the drug trade to promote radicalization.

Éric Diard, LR deputy for Bouches-du-Rhône.

The deputy LR of Bouches-du-Rhône is all the more skeptical of this

“very atypical” report

as the drafters of the text have radically different convictions and motivations on the subject, he describes.

There are those

"who really believe in it",

those

 who have decided to do a little cheap advertising "

and those, finally,

" who want to ensure their re-election by giving additional income to their farmers

", denounces the Marseillais, particularly targeting the LREM deputy Jean-Baptiste Moreau.

“It doesn't seem very serious to me,” he

says.

In our columns, on April 19, Emmanuel Macron clearly stated his position on the subject:

“Unlike those who advocate generalized decriminalization, I believe that narcotics need a break, not a break. publicity stunt. "

Éric Diard is positioned on the same line.

"For now, we must not legalize cannabis," he

says.

Has this specialist in Islamic fundamentalism observed that the drug trade is one of the modes of financing radical Islamism?

“Yes and no”,

surprisingly loose the deputy.

"In certain sectors where there are drugs

, he explains,

it happened in Marseille for example"

, Islamism is struggling to take root because the traffickers

"do not want these imams who tell them not to drink and not to take drugs ”.

In other sensitive places, on the contrary,

"there is funding from abroad or the drug trade to promote radicalization",

such as Strasbourg and Toulouse, he adds.

Finally, if he recognizes a certain

"firmness"

on the part of Gerald Darmanin, the Republican regrets that this government,

"is doing" at the same time "on a subject as serious and thorny

" as cannabis, so as not to offend the left wing of the majority.
