The right wants to fight against "the ultra-violence" of delinquents "more and more young" by proposing "immediate" sentences of prison for the senator LR Bruno Retailleau or "of military framing" for the number 3 of LR Aurélien Pradié.
Faced with the "daily chronicle of ordinary barbarism" and "endemic violence", the leader of senators LR proposed Thursday on France 2 a "criminal revolution".
According to him, we need "short prison sentences as we do in the Netherlands", but "immediately because these young people, they no longer have any benchmarks, they are no longer aware of the gravity of their facts ".
For that, it is necessary "to build appropriate prisons" because "one does not mix these young minors with common rights which have long sentences", he specified.
"It is now necessary for young delinquents a rapid and immediate sentence which is a sentence of military supervision" on the model of the educational centers closed under Nicolas Sarkozy, claimed for his part the secretary general of LR on Public Senate.
"Prison as we know it today is not the solution for 15-year-old kids, but freedom is not the solution either, we have to find an intermediary tool," he insisted.
Denouncing a "failure of family authority", Mr. Pradié also wants to discuss "the suspension of family allowances for parents who fail".
Violent settling of scores between groups of young people recently caused several victims in the Paris region: two college students fatally stabbed in February in Essonne, two teenagers seriously injured Monday in Val-de-Marne and another Tuesday evening in the 16th arrondissement from Paris.
"It is a serious phenomenon. Wherever it develops, the State must reaffirm itself, that there be republican reconquest", estimated the boss of LREM deputies Christophe Castaner on LCI, recalling that the "historic reform of the penal code of minors" proposed by the government must increase the time between the facts and the sanction from 18 to 3 months.
The deputy LFI of Seine-Saint-Denis Clémentine Autain also wants to provide answers for "this youth who is visibly in a state of distress because when we commit such acts of violence, it is still that something is absolutely wrong. round".
"There is no miracle solution", but we must also take into account "educational issues, prevention", because "if we are only on the steering wheel repressive, as the right or the government ( ...), we are at an impasse, "she said on franceinfo.
