Question 14313 — public order

Summary

Mr. Yoann Gillet draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the extremely serious events that occurred in Fresnes (Val-de-Marne), where dozens of individuals ransacked the town hall of the town on the eve of the installation of the new mayor. The ten individuals arrested are all minors aged 14 to 17. According to information communicated by the Créteil public prosecutor's office, these individuals are suspected of destruction by dangerous means in organized gang, group thefts and aggravated damage. Video surveillance images show masked individuals, equipped with fireworks, forcing entry to the building before engaging in acts of vandalism. These facts constitute a direct attack against a symbol of the Republic, the “common home” of citizens, and testify to a particularly high level of violence, savagery and premeditation. worrying. Even more serious, they illustrate the growing participation of minors in acts of delinquency and even crime, of increasing seriousness. The MP also points out that in his department, in Nîmes, on February 17, 2026, an 8-year-old child was killed, hit by a 17-year-old without a license and already known to the courts. Throughout the territory, incidents are multiplying: gang attacks, violence against law enforcement, attacks on public buildings, etc. These examples reflect a reality that is now incontestable: a continued rise in ever more violent and uninhibited juvenile delinquency and crime. Once again, this type of facts calls into question the effectiveness of the criminal response to this violence, as well as the capacity of the State to prevent recidivism and restore authority. While the French note an increase in acts of violence committed by ever younger individuals, often with complete impunity, this new episode confirms the failure of successive policies carried out in matters of security and justice for minors. In this context, he wishes to know what concrete measures the Government intends to implement to stem this growing wildness of minors and to guarantee a criminal response. truly dissuasive in the face of increasingly serious facts. He also asks whether a change in the legal framework applicable to minors, particularly with regard to the reduction of sentences, is envisaged in order to guarantee a truly dissuasive response to this type of act. Finally, he wishes to know the additional means that will be mobilized to prevent this violence and restore the authority of the State in the face of acts which constitute a direct attack on French institutions.
