Gunshots in Marseille: “We won’t let the thugs sleep”
“We won’t stop thugs from being thugs, but We won’t let them sleep, that’s our job.”assured the Secretary of State for the city Sabrina Agresti-Roubache this Saturday on franceinfo, in reaction to shots which injured a man Friday evening near the Old Port of Marseille, during the World Cup match of France-Italy rugby. “We understood that security was the French issue.” In Marseille, “more than 600” weapons and “some 40 tonnes” were seized last year. “71 fewer deal points that have not been reconstituted, that’s so many more points of peace for people”she also assured.
Interministerial committee for the city rejected: “The CNR was important to finish the consultations”
The Interministerial Committee for the City, to propose solutions in response to the urban riots which shook the country following the death of Nahel, was to be held on Monday October 9. It was postponed until the end of the month, and replaced by a National Refoundation Council. This provoked the anger of local elected officials and grassroots associations, but the Secretary of State in charge of the City refutes the accusations of contempt: “During the National Refoundation Council, we put subjects on the table with local elected officials, we worked on measures. It is a preparation document. This CNR was important to finish the consultations.”
Social diversity: “Social categories that are not alike can live together”
“It means creating Diversity” clarified Sabrina Agresti-Roubache on franceinfo, speaking of the words of Emmanuel Macron who said at the end of August he wanted a repopulation policy. “Where there is social mixing, social categories that do not resemble each other can live together. For 40 years, we have concentrated people of the same social level, same ethnic origin, and same culture in the same place”. And for the Secretary of State in charge of the city, this diversity does not involve quotas but “through housing, and especially stopping gentrification. School can also be a vector, for example by opening classes of excellence in high schools and colleges in priority neighborhoods.”
