If the prefect does not “not satisfied with this situation”she regrets a lack of communication. “In terms of form, this poses a problem of method because the last discussions that I was able to have with the president of the university, at the beginning of September, indicated satisfaction with the system put in place for the start of the school year. could have talked about it before getting there”.

More than 40 CRS operations in September

A deal point is trying to establish itself at the university level. “It’s a fairly historic site in the city center where there has been traffic and it has been trying to establish itself in a more offensive way for several weeks. Faced with this offensive, the police responded with a more sustained presence. This creates tensions on the side of the lookouts, the dealers, greater aggression towards people”explained the prefect who does not intend to let this happen and “intends to continue this balance of power”.

In one month, 29 arrests for trafficking took place in this sector. 42 CRS operations were carried out in September, in addition to the daily presence, indicates the prefecture on Twitter. Police presence is necessary in order to “reassure students and staff”insisted the prefect on franceinfo.
