Youth violence: the government wants to “act from primary school”. “We must be able to act before this degenerates,” declared government spokesperson Prisca Thévenot on France 2 this Monday, in reaction to the successive attacks last week.

First of all that of Samara, 14 years old, severely beaten in front of her school in Montpellier; that of another teenager of the same age who fell into an ambush in Tours; but also and above all the attack on 15-year-old Shemseddine.
