"
promised Emmanuel Macron Wednesday evening in front of the police.
The head of state was a few hours earlier in the cities north of Marseille to affirm the firmness of the state against drug trafficking.

"The idea that in some neighborhoods, it would be trendy to take drugs so that in others young people get killed because they sell or watch, it's over,"
he hammered.
"Fact"
"Everyone must understand in our country that drug users are accomplices, in fact"
, even ruled the head of state. His words are in line with those of Gerald Darmanin, the Minister of the Interior. The latter had declared last spring in
Le Figaro
that those
"who buy drugs finance and arm murderers"
. The first "cop" of France had also wished mid-August
"controls against drugs in the beautiful districts to avoid this consumption"
.
In Marseille, Emmanuel Macron felt that it was necessary to
"treat the symptoms"
,
"because the inhabitants of the neighborhoods ask for the right to live in peace and in safety"
.
“They won't listen to us on everything else if we don't succeed on security,”
he stressed. The president has already announced the installation of 500 surveillance video cameras and a reinforcement of 200 additional police officers who will be deployed by the end of 2022. These political opponents saw it as a simple disguised campaign trip in the run-up to the presidential election.
