2024 Legislative Elections: Insecurity, one of the main concerns of the French

If purchasing power is, according to pollsters, the primary concern of voters, the feeling of insecurity is also one of the motivations for their vote. The fear of being attacked while taking public transport is one example, particularly in Grenoble (Isère).
Traveling to work, going out for a drink, doing your shopping in complete safety: four days before the first round, each party thinks they have the most effective solutions. In the Grenoble metropolitan area, in Isère, the feeling of insecurity is at the heart of the countryside. On a bus line which passes through so-called difficult neighborhoods, incidents are not rare. The national police must deploy brigades dedicated to transport there after the Olympic Games. In the neighboring town of Clais (Isère), the National Rally achieved a historic score in the European elections.
One of its flagship measures is sparking debate: should family allowances be withdrawn from parents of delinquent children? A former academic pleads for the implementation of an emblematic measure of the New Popular Front: community policing. As everywhere in France, in Grenoble, reports of violence against women are increasing. Women want to strengthen the resources allocated to the police. Along with purchasing power, security is one of the main concerns of the French in view of the vote on Sunday June 30.
