Because we have signed with your elected officials, who were present, texts to avoid departures, to fight against the risks that are sometimes taken and the misery that comes here. And security is also your everyday security. It's a new police station, it's means that we put back on the ground, it's more ways for justice and to make sure you can live safely and rest assured: France is security.
