French cities that work for children after drug violence

A number of French cities have imposed a night curfew after a series of drug -related violence.

Nîmes in the south was the last to bring measures that, according to the authorities, are designed to prevent the 16th to “be subject to violence” and “hold tension”. Additional police units will also be sent.

During the last month, several shots – one in the shore of daylight – left one person dead and suffered somewhat.

Last week, the 19-year-old man was found partially burned on the outskirts of Nîmes.

Announcement of the curfew of the clock between 9:00 pm and 06: 00-Mayor Jean-Paul said that the situation became “impossible” and that drug traders created “climate of fear and terror”.

Deputy Mayor Richard Shiven said the curfew would protect the juveniles who are not involved in drug trafficking, but also those who are 12 or 13 years old. “

Besier, 120 km (75 miles) to the southwest, had a curfew for children under 13 years between 23:00 and 6:00 from last year and expanded it to 15 years in certain areas last March. “No 10-year-old guy on the street at 2:00 is not dependent on nothing but misfortune,” said Mayor Robert Menard in 2024.

Despite the measures, Besier continues to suffer from violence. Over the weekend, the boys were dressed in Balaklava, and then attacked their fireworks, local media reported.

A similar incident occurred in a lemozo in the southwest of France. The city also imposed measures of curfew during the 13ths during the summer holidays – but after the violence involving 100 people over the weekend, Mayor Emil Roger Lamberti said the results were “not good”.

“We had violations of young people, no one was able to intercept and arrest them, and the curfew was useless,” Lomber said, adding that more police needed.

Two years ago in nimes was outrage when A 10-year-old boy was killed A bullet in the area of Pisvin.

Recent developments confirm the increasing trend, which has been observed that drug violence is expanding outside the Marseille-long epicenter of the gangs wars in France.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 110 people were killed in France, and more than 300 people were injured in drug -related drugs in 2024.

Interior Minister Gerard Darmanin and Justice Minister Bruno Retali have long insisted on the need to combat drug trafficking.

Earlier this year, they ruled the bill through parliament, which resulted in the two prisons of maximum security for drugs, a new, special department of the prosecutor’s office, additional powers for investigators and special, protected status for informants.

Darmanin said on Tuesday that “the first 17 drugs, including the most dangerous in our country,” were transferred to the high security prison in Northern France.
