Question 11429 — security of property and people

Summary

Ms. Emmanuelle Ménard draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to the regular attacks perpetrated against public service agents in so-called “sensitive” neighborhoods. During the day of July 17, 2018, in Béziers, in the La Devèze district, cleaning agents found bags of drugs in a cardboard box while cleaning the market. The dealers present there asked them to return them. This which they did immediately, fearing for their physical integrity and in order to be able to continue to carry out their work on site. This type of situation is unfortunately regular in this neighborhood. The agents tell us that, systematically, before each end-of-market cleaning operation, they must whistle to warn the dealers of their arrival so that the drugs hidden in the trash are not picked up. July 23 2018, an agent received death threats after being insulted. These verbal and sometimes physical attacks, such as this way of having to work while ensuring not to interfere with illicit activities, are unacceptable. Even though this district, recognized as a priority district of national interest, has already received and will receive substantial aid, to the tune of several tens of millions of euros, drug trafficking is taking place there on a large scale. day. Renovating a neighborhood must be a global policy and not just an urban development plan. It is therefore urgent and necessary that the La Devèze police station, although this district has not been selected as part of the new “Everyday Security Police” system, has the means and prerogatives which allow it to really act. Without strong action by the police and the justice system to reconquer this neighborhood, all the efforts made will prove to be in vain. The safety and tranquility of local residents are obviously at stake. She asks him what steps he plans to take to remedy this situation.
