“This policy of repression is a failure”castigated Tuesday March 19 on franceinfo Amine Kessaci, EELV candidate for the European elections and founder of the Marseille association Conscience, which aims to improve the image of young people from working-class neighborhoods, while Emmanuel Macron is on a surprise visit to the Marseille city during an anti-drug operation “unprecedented”. “What we advocate is the return of community policing”continued Amine Kessaci. “As soon as the president leaves the city of La Castellane, people will once again find themselves alone, confronted with networks, confronted with drug traffickers”he stressed.
“We tried to torpedo the networks, going there every day and carrying out operations that lasted an hour and then left, after half an hour the network resumed”is alarmed by the EELV candidate for the European elections, who also comes from a city in Marseille. “We have been harassing small-time drug traffickers in Marseille for 25 years”he added.
If Amine Kessaci greets “a desire of all to lead this fight”he has little illusion, ensuring that the “war on drugs” East “lost”. For this operation called “square net XXL”, Emmanuel Macron went to the city of La Castellane, in the northern districts of Marseille, a district where he had already visited in June as part of the follow-up of his “Marseille en big”.
