Accompanied by the RN European deputy Nicolas Bay, she follows the shootings that took place in the Liserons neighborhood. He seeks to denounce the influence that dealers have in the neighborhoods.
“We have a critical situation in the neighborhoods, and not just in the housing projects of Saint-Denis or the northern districts of Marseille.” The RN candidate for municipal elections and the Vice-president of the Identity and Democracy group do not mince words in describing a situation that continues to worsen.
Christophe Castaner and Christian Estrosi in the crosshairs
Nicolas Bay only asks for one thing: there is an urgency to replace Mr. Castaner. He condemns the attitude of the Minister of the Interior, who, according to him, does not defend his men. “He is supposed to be both the leader and the one who defends and protects the police and judicial institutions. He thus bears the very heavy responsibility of ensuring public safety.” He explains that the police are mistreated and helpless in the face of violence. They no longer have the means to act accordingly.
He believes that the minister is completely overwhelmed by the events and the difficulties the police face in performing their duties daily. We have a minister who tells us that we will have to stop using proven arrest techniques, that we must suspect the police of racism whenever they are falsely accused of racism, and that there are shootings in the streets.
When Philippe Vardon takes over, it is to criticize the mayor of Nice. According to him, the investment plans in the Liserons and Moulins neighborhoods are not being applied correctly: Christian Estrosi made a different choice: a month later, he announced a 50 million euro plan for Liserons for urban renewal.
The Moulins plan received even more funding with hundreds of millions of euros. They were used mainly for building renovations. For the former regional councilor, Christian Estrosi facilitated the “development of communitarianism.”
The issues of gangland settlements in the neighborhoods
Here, they refer to the shootings that occurred last week and on Sunday evening. A political response is needed, exclaims Nicolas Bay. In unison, they warn of the security problems of recent months. The lockdown period in the city did not eliminate the security problems but rather exacerbated them. We have had riots, assaults on firefighters and police officers.
For him, there is only one solution: expel the criminals. However, he distinguishes between two types of expulsions: “when it involves foreign criminals, they must be expelled from our country and returned to their country of origin. When it involves criminals with French nationality living in social housing, they must be evicted.” He protests, stating that the Côte d’Azur habitat organization has not addressed the problem adequately.
Finally, he expresses concern about the arrival of delinquents from Saint Denis and the South-Southwest who come to train in the Liserons. This is why he tries to present himself as part of the solution. “I am establishing law and order in this city.”
