In the process

of “hidalgoisation”

according to Éric Ciotti, would Nice be in the grip of a form of “

Marseillisation

”?

Not directly used, the formula was well implied by the prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes on Monday, during a point with the press on the gangrene of drug trafficking in the sensitive district of Les Moulins.

In what he called a

“territorial war”,

Bernard Gonzalez pointed to the presence of individuals from Bouches-du-Rhône at the heart of Nice traffic.

But also the use of methods borrowed from the city of Marseille, with the increasingly common use of large-caliber weapons.

"We must avoid a Marseille-style drift in the neighborhoods of Nice"

, he warned.

Guest of BFM Côte d'Azur on Tuesday morning, the first Deputy Mayor for Security expressed his desire to obtain the assistance of the army to regain control of the cities: "I ask, at the national level,

that in a district that is in temporary difficulty, we can put the Sentinel force there.

That is to say, our armed forces

.

, Anthony Borré persists and signs.

“It is a personal point of view that I assume.

It seems to me that in tense situations, the Sentinels could be an extra force to appease the spirits.

Simply by being present in the neighborhoods, as they can be on the Promenade des Anglais, in a remarkable way moreover, since 2015,

he points out.

But I don't want my words to be shortened.

I am not saying that only the presence of the military will solve the problem.

Expulsion of illegal immigrants, harassment of consumers and dealers

In the afternoon, the right arm of Christian Estrosi also spoke with Gérald Darmanin by telephone.

To the Minister of the Interior, he informed

"as [he] does regularly"

, of a situation which, for several months,

"escapes the public authorities, the State in particular".

“I am calling for additional resources and a more effective action plan,”

he insists.

For Anthony Borré, the nerve of the war against drug trafficking lies in the expulsion of illegal immigrants.

Small hands of traffickers, these funds would constitute

"60% of the arrests"

at the Moulins.

With the tenant of Beauvau, the elected official insisted in this sense on the request already formulated by Christian Estrosi to obtain the opening of

Then you have to go after the consumers

,” continues the deputy.

He regrets that in this respect “

the City cannot do much.

For example, municipal police officers are not authorized to distribute tort lump sum fines, unlike their national counterparts.

"In the meantime, I suggest that the state set up cameras that read license plates to verbalize all consumers in the neighborhood."

For Anthony Borré, it is finally a question of further harassing the traffickers, via regular search operations in

“all the garages, the roofs, the trunks of cars and all the cellars of the district”.

Already carried out under Nicolas Sarkozy, these operations had

"largely paid off"

, assures the deputy.

If he said to himself, according to Anthony Borré, "

aware of the situation

", the current first cop in France would also have replied that it

"was much more dramatic in Marseille."

What he probably explained

bis repetita

to Éric Ciotti.

In fact, the deputy of the Alpes-Maritimes and president of the Republicans received the minister in his Paris office during the day to, he said, "alert him

on the deterioration of security conditions in Nice and particularly in the district of Mills.”
