French Senate is conducting a parliamentary commission of inquiry on the scale of drug trafficking in Marseille. This week, several senators traveled to Marseille to continue their commission.
Faced with the words of magistrates to describe the alarming situation, the people of Marseillais widely share their vision. Marseille, a “narcoville” prey to corruption and in full “Mexicanization”: the words used by local magistrates are strong. “We suffer, but it’s not normal! We don’t punish them enough,” says a retiree.
