In the Pelleport district (20th century), the anger does not subside.
The concern is still so keen, since the announcement by the mayor (PS) of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, of the opening of a "treatment room" for drug addicts addicted to crack, in the premises of a former nursery school.
A place surrounded by schools that welcome… 1,500 children in total.
After two demonstrations shouting “No crack in our schools!
"And" Protect our children ", the residents were invited by the mayor (PS) Eric Pliez, to an information meeting, this Wednesday evening, at the Pyrenees gymnasium.
A public debate that everyone called for, and which takes place the same day Prime Minister Jean Castex spoke on the request for the opening of these rooms, by the mayor (PS) of Paris, Anne Hidalgo.
In favor of the various proposals for the creation of dedicated structures, or the reinforcement of existing places in the 11th, 18th and 19th arrondissements, Jean Castex, on the other hand, has serious reservations about the site chosen for the 20th century, stressing "the obvious difficulty" which risks becoming to land.

"The place was suitable, but not its environment", for his part, recognized this Wednesday the first deputy of Anne Hidalgo, Emmanuel Grégoire (PS).
Even more categorical, Gabriel Attal, the spokesman of the government judges that "to install a device which aims to accommodate drug addicts glued to a school, it is no", he insisted, inciting the City to make d other proposals.
"Our mobilization paid off"
“This project is totally unthinkable, and unworthy, strangles a local resident. This amounts to introducing drugs into a quiet, family-friendly area where they don't circulate, all in the middle of a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood, five schools, two nurseries and an nursing home. "" Our mobilization paid off, says a mother. Without the pressure put on by the residents, the project would have gone smoothly. "But," she adds, "it will obviously land elsewhere, in the 20th century, or another district in the north-east. Why would we always be sacrificed? "
