INFO LE FIGARO - In a letter of June 25, 2021, the police headquarters estimated that this evacuation, with no new alternative location, would lead to "a more penalizing situation for residents".


Since the evacuation of the Jardin d'Éole on Wednesday June 30 - a promise from Anne Hidalgo - the situation has not improved for residents of the 18th and 19th arrondissements of Paris, quite the contrary.

“Drug addicts are no longer in the park but they are around the park.

It's even worse than before, there are assaults all the time, ”

explains Karim, a resident of the 19th arrondissement and member of the Stop Crack Eole collective!

A predictable situation;

it had also been the subject of a letter from the Paris police headquarters, sent on June 25 to the town hall.

"

I take note of your publicly announced decision to put an end to the Eole device on June 30, noting that it was not concerted with the State services

", wrote to the mayor the prefect of police Didier Lallement, in the letter that

Le Figaro

was able to consult.

"A more penalizing situation for local residents"

"

By this letter, I want to make you aware of the consequences of it (the decision to evacuate, Editor's note)

", continues the prefect of police. "

If your services put an end to the evening opening of the Eole garden without first identifying a new place to which to direct drug addicts, they would not fail both to return to

the Stalingrad site

and to spread to other places, in particular in the 18th arrondissement,

”he wrote.

The prefect of police then formulates a very clear warning: "

I consider that in the absence of an alternative place, all the public actors would be at risk, by creating a situation more penalizing than at present for residents of the North-East of Paris, and in particular those of Place Stalingrad

”. In this letter, the police headquarters proposed as an alternative “

temporary

” place the Place Auguste Baron (19th arrondissement), located not far from the Porte de la Villette.
