The question that is asked is the treatment, I asked the government that we open together a place
" to take care of them but, "
for the moment, there is a difference of views within the government
" between those who want places of accompaniment and "
others who explain that it is enough to move the problem
", she added. "
I would like us to open a place that comes to the aid of drug addicts because we cannot just evacuate the subject without treating it
", repeated Mrs. Hidalgo who had written to Prime Minister Jean Castex at the beginning of June to ask "
new support systems adapted to the problems of crack users
