• Valérie Pécresse is the LR candidate for the presidential election.

  • Somewhat off the hook in the polls, Nicolas Sarkozy's former Minister of Higher Education went to the northern districts of Marseille for a sequence on the theme of security.

  • “We cannot leave territories in the hands of bosses and violence,” she said.

She did not come as a client.

Valérie Pécresse, who wants to stand out for her firmness on the sovereign, ten days before the presidential election, went Thursday evening to the northern districts of Marseille to affirm there, near drug trafficking points, her desire for a “zero impunity”.

"At some point we have to punish, we need zero impunity, that the Republic be at home," she told journalists after a visit during which she was accompanied by her guards from the body and some members of his campaign team.

“Checkpoints in the Republic”

Shortly after 11 p.m., the LR candidate first went to the city of Bricarde, in the 15th arrondissement, where a man had been shot and wounded on Sunday near a deal point.

But this stunning plane at the foot of the towers, which she intended to approach, had been deserted shortly before her arrival.

The presidential candidate then went to the city of La Paternelle, in the 14th arrondissement, not far from lit braziers at the entrance to the district, on another point of sale of narcotics, where invisible silhouettes shouted alert.

“There are checkpoints in the Republic”, she lamented, worrying about “public powerlessness”.

"It's a very professional device, with a first whistleblower and a series of checks to arrive at the deal itself", explained to him the senator LR of Bouches-du-Rhône Stéphane Le Rudulier, one of his attendants.

"We are dealing with people who have colossal means, who make between 30,000 and 90,000 euros a day and use young people as cannon fodder", explained an FO union representative, at the 15th arrondissement police station, where the candidate is then returned to meet the police.

Ensuring that "we cannot leave territories in the hands of bosses and violence", Valérie Pécresse estimated that the police "do a colossal job": "But it lacks manpower, video protection and of punishment", she added, before pleading for the construction of prison places and the establishment of an "emergency plan for justice".

The LR candidate, left behind in the polls, criticized Emmanuel Macron on this security issue: “He came to Marseille twice, he said that was going to change, that the Republic would be at home everywhere, and the Republic is not at home everywhere".

Valérie Pécresse was to continue her visit on Friday on the sovereign theme by visiting a security center and talking with law enforcement.
