French Government Unveils New Anti-Narcotics Plan in Marseille

Ministers Retailleau and Migaud announce measures to combat drug trafficking amid rising violence.

Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau and Justice Minister Didier Migaud are set to present a comprehensive strategy against narcotrafic in Marseille.
A key feature of the plan is the establishment of a national anti-narcotics prosecutor's office, modeled after successful specialized courts.
The initiative comes in response to increasing violence linked to drug gangs, with recent incidents in cities like Poitiers and Rennes.
Prime Minister Michel Barnier has emphasized the urgency of addressing narcotrafic, prioritizing it over other legislative agendas such as immigration.
Public concern is high, with a recent poll indicating that 71% of French citizens believe the country is experiencing a 'mexicanization' due to drug-related violence.
