“A young girl screams in the direction of Valérie Pécresse and Laurent Wauquiez Thursday evening April 7 in Lyon, Guillotière district.

On March 8, several shots were heard in this central district of Lyon, near the banks of the Rhône.

A settling of accounts.

It is a disintegration just 700 meters from the prefecture, symbol of the State

”, laments Laurent Wauquiez.

Place Gabriel Péri has become a place of trafficking and insecurity where the reinforcement of a police brigade, deployed in February, has not changed much in the activities of dealers, according to the exasperated residents who are trying to alert politicians via their association.

On Cours Gambetta, Valérie Pécresse finishes a conversation with residents and explains the meaning of her coming here.

Me, what I want is to fight against public impotence.

The French can't take it anymore.

It is she who will lead to having extremes in power.

Me, I am the alternation, the one that will put an end to this impotence and which will bring order everywhere on the territory of the Republic

, ”she promises.

The French want order, they want a shock of authority to be able to live peacefully where they have chosen to live.

Suddenly, a young cyclist challenges the candidate, accusing her of coming to "

raise the extremes

".

Valérie Pécresse replies: “

There is no insecurity at La Guillotière?

".

"

That's not the question

," replies the young man.

"

Ah yes, that's the question dear sir, that's the question and unfortunately he doesn't have the answer.

»

Surrounded by several bodyguards, the candidate then decides to go down the artery to reach the square where many young people welcome her with hostile words.

But she continues on her way while about fifteen police officers are present to avoid overflows.

"

The French want order, they want a shock of authority to be able to live peacefully where they have chosen to live

", insists Valérie Pécresse, posing as the candidate of "

answers

" and "

solutions

".

Three days before the presidential election, she also wants to confront Emmanuel Macron with his security results.

There is a self-satisfied record of the President of the Republic on these issues.

And today, this assessment is unraveled by the reality on the ground.

And the reality of France, if Emmanuel Macron does not want to come and see it, we bring it to him

, ”she adds before listing the measures she would put in place if she were elected: immediate appearances in the event of flagrant offences, short sentences served, electronic bracelets, isolation of offenders in temporary prisons pending the construction of new places... "

I am a woman of concrete solutions

", she concludes, insisting on the "

sanction

as a key element of these solutions.

"

We have a President of the Republic who is looking elsewhere but tonight, thanks to you, he will be forced to look at the Guillotière opposite, as he was forced to look at the northern districts of Marseille

", she accuses.

A few days earlier, Valérie Pécresse had made a similar visit to sensitive areas of the Marseille city where drug dealers' roadblocks and braziers block access to certain streets to protect drug trafficking.

After this fifteen-minute immersion, several young people began to want to get closer to her, asking her to leave.

Faced with growing tensions, Valérie Pécresse was invited by her bodyguards to join her vehicle, while the police present tried to calm people down.
