For a month, the problem of crack has suddenly erupted in Seine-Saint-Denis, after the decision of the Ministry of the Interior and the police headquarters to move crack users to the Porte de la Villette, erecting by the the same occasion a wall, under the ring road, between Paris and the towns of Aubervilliers and Pantin.
At the end of September, 37 elected officials from the department seized Prime Minister Jean Castex, asking him to urgently receive the mayors of Pantin and Aubervilliers, without success.
