During a visit to Marseille, French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau and Justice Minister Didier Migaud emphasized the need for enhanced police and judicial resources to combat drug trafficking, now declared a ‘national cause.’ They announced a plan targeting organized crime and urged a societal shift in the perception of drug use, linking it to escalating violence, particularly among youth. As drug-related deaths rise, officials propose a national prosecution office and awareness campaigns, while some consumers express skepticism about the proposed approach and the effectiveness of guilt in changing behavior.
