Question 16156 — drugs

Summary

Mr. Thierry Perez questions the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, on the particularly worrying situation experienced by many residents of social housing confronted with the presence of drug traffickers within or in the immediate vicinity of their residence. In the town of Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, in Isère, several families were recently exposed to extremely serious events. One example is particularly striking, as part of a settling of scores linked to drug trafficking: individuals opened fire, with a weapon of war and multiple times, on a social housing during the night, after having targeted the wrong target. The occupants, completely unrelated to the targeted criminal activities, saw their safety and that of their neighborhood directly threatened. This case illustrates the reality experienced by many modest French people who respect the rules of the Republic, work or have worked all their lives, but today find themselves prisoners of a climate of insecurity created by a few individuals who have made drug trafficking their way of life. Parliament adopted in 2025 the law aimed at getting France out of the drug trafficking trap, which notably allows the prefect to order a social landlord to initiate a lease termination procedure when actions linked to drug trafficking seriously or repeatedly disturb public order. This progress constituted a strong signal. However, many questions remain regarding the effectiveness of these provisions on the ground. The procedures sometimes appear long, complex and insufficiently mobilized even though residents suffer the consequences of organized crime on a daily basis. In the same At the same time, several million French people remain waiting for social housing. This situation fuels a feeling of injustice when it appears that certain beneficiaries of social security are involved, directly or indirectly, in particularly lucrative criminal activities. Also, he asks what assessment the Government draws up, one year after the entry into force of the law of June 13, 2025, of the procedures initiated to terminate the leases of people involved in drug trafficking activities; what instructions were given to the public prosecutor's offices, in particular those of Bourgoin-Jallieu and Vienne, in order to ensure rapid cooperation with the prefects and social landlords when drug trafficking is identified in or around social housing; what additional resources will be devoted to investigation services and enforcement units? gendarmerie, particularly within gendarmerie brigades in Nord-Isère, in order to identify the perpetrators of violence committed in the context of settling scores linked to drug trafficking; finally, if it intends to change the legislation so that the loss of the benefit of social housing can be more systematized when the participation, of the lease holder or a member of his family domiciled at the same address, in activities of drug trafficking is definitively established by the judicial authority. He also asks what measures the Government intends to implement to guarantee that social housing remains primarily intended for families who respect the laws of the Republic and can in no case constitute a sanctuary for drug trafficking activities.
