“It’s going in the right direction.”, reacted in the evening, Friday October 27, the PS mayor of Sarcelles Patrick Haddad after Elisabeth Borne’s announcements. Three and a half months after the riots, the Prime Minister unveiled social and structural measures to respond to the difficulties of working-class neighborhoods which are divided into several areas such as housing and sport.

Elisabeth Borne, for example, sent a circular to the prefects asking them to no longer allocate social housing in working-class neighborhoods to Dalo (enforceable right to housing) households in order to promote social diversity. “It’s an incentive to do, but it’s not a law”SO “it is not certain that the measure is up to the challenge”notes Patrick Haddad. “The government will have to ensure that in neighborhoods more favored than ours, we have a gesture of solidarity” For “better share poverty”he continues.

The elected socialist regrets “catalog effect” with all the proposals of the Prime Minister which “may drown out the substance of the subject a little”. He cites the creation of 100 nurseries for working-class neighborhoods, 24 resilient neighborhoods and 60 health centers for more than 1,500 priority neighborhoods of city policy. Patrick Haddad asks the government to“invest in these neighborhoods considering that they are also a resource and not necessarily a problem that needs to be resolved”.
