Question 6913 — security of property and people

Summary

Mrs. Tiffany Joncour alerts the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to the intolerable situation of insecurity which is rampant and rampant in the Mathiolan district of Meyzieu (Rhône). Violence, drug trafficking and squatting are now daily there, as illustrated by the recent shootings that occurred at night, sowing terror among the residents. On Tuesday May 6, 2025, the MP went to the site, at the request of local residents deeply shocked and exhausted. The testimonies collected are overwhelming: “We no longer live, we survive”, “Our children no longer sleep, they heard the bullets whistling”, “We are afraid to go out, even in broad daylight”. Fear set in and the feeling of abandonment became unbearable. Since last October, the MP has alerted the competent authorities. A letter has already been sent to the Minister of the Interior, Mr. Bruno Retailleau, to the prefect of Rhône, Mrs. Fabienne Buccio, as well as the mayor of Meyzieu. Everyone remained without any response: no concrete action followed, no additional patrol... Neither the commissioner, nor the prosecutor, nor the prefect considered it useful to respond to his requests or to seriously address the situation. Since then, nothing has changed. The Mathiolan district continues to descend into violence and is gradually becoming a real lawless zone, where emergency services and law enforcement are now struggling to intervene without being threatened or targeted. In this context, the MP considers that words are no longer enough. She is now calling for strong and immediate actions to restore republican order. She calls for: the urgent strengthening of national police personnel in Meyzieu, with visible and dissuasive patrols; installation of video protection cameras additional in the most sensitive areas of the Mathiolan district; an in-depth police investigation whose objective is to sustainably dismantle the drug trafficking which poisons the daily lives of residents; a firm and visible criminal response, commensurate with the seriousness of the acts committed. She recalls that existing cameras are regularly targeted and that the police, themselves regularly targeted by mortar fire, cannot effectively fulfill their mission without clear support from the State. She therefore asks him if he intends to listen to local requests and apply these common sense measures.
