Urban violence: “Of course if”, there is a “link” with “immigration”
“When I hear Gérald Darmanin, yesterday at the National Assembly, say that there is no link between these events and immigration, of course there is”, assures Bruno Retailleau. The Minister of the Interior declared on Tuesday July 4 that the problem posed by the riots was that of the “young delinquents” And “not strangers”.

“Certainly, they are French, but they are French by their identity”, believes the leader of senators LR. ” Unfortunately for the second, the third generation [les descendants d’immigrés]there is a sort of regression towards ethnic origins”he says. “That’s what we should be questioning” And “I think we have a share of responsibility”he judges.
Urban violence: “short sentences” for minors and “suspension” of family allowances
“I am going to surprise you, perhaps shock you: I think that short prison sentences for minors are not used enough”says Bruno Retailleau. “Not in any prison”, he says. For him, “we need closed educational centers, we cannot mix them” with other inmates.

“Call their families to account” is also part of “pathways to accountability” minors involved in the urban violence cited by the Vendée elected official. “The family allowance is to take care of the family”justifies Bruno Retailleau. “When the parents are unable to exercise their parental authority, I do not see why society would pay them family allowances”he adds.
Urban violence in Marseille: “No question of withdrawing” the LBDs in France
“There is no question of withdrawing” LBDs in France where “we want to kill some cop”estimates Bruno Retailleau, after the death of a man in Marseille by a shooting “likely” of a projectile “flash-ball type”. “Our police are facing unleashed violence” And “They must be able to protect themselves and protect us”. Judicial information was opened after the death of this man on the night of Saturday to Sunday and the IGPN was seized. It is not known whether the victim was involved in violence, says the prosecution.
Flash-Balls: “There is no question of removing them, launches Senator LR Bruno Retailleau. Why? Because between tear gas and firearms, you need an intermediate weapon. Our law enforcement must be able to protect themselves. In France, we want to kill cops”. pic.twitter.com/tiGt05D6P9
