For his first visit, the minister chose to go to a police station in La Courneuve. There he spoke about the work of the police, drug trafficking and illegal immigration.
A need to tell “his troops” that “their boss takes care of them”. A few hours after his first cabinet meeting, the new head of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau, went to a police station in La Courneuve (Seine-Saint-Denis) for his first official visit. There he declared that he wanted “reinforce the police”Who “are doing an incredible job,” “in increasingly difficult conditions.” Before issuing a first warning: “I will not tolerate any offense.”
This trip was also an opportunity for the new tenant of Place Beauvau to discuss one of his priority projects: the fight against drug trafficking. The Minister of the Interior does not wish “nothing is forbidden” to fight against these networks, synonymous according to him with“ultra-violence”. Regarding illegal immigration, another urgent issue according to him, Bruno Retailleau referred to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, while Berlin has just extended to all its borders, including those with France, controls aimed at “reduce illegal immigration”. ““Either we delegate our migration policy to the smugglers, or we take back control of migration policy. I am for sovereignty,” he said.
