France's justice minister, Gerald Darmanin, affirmed the government's stance against intimidation following attacks on prison staff's properties. Assailants targeted cars and buildings linked to prison personnel, prompting a police investigation. Darmanin emphasized that these acts were orchestrated by individuals connected to drug trafficking, suggesting a reaction to France's intensified measures against narcotics. The recent violence, including vehicle arson and threats at a prison, indicates a disturbing trend of destabilization aimed at undermining state authority and responses to drug-related crime.
"Clearly people are trying to destabilise the state by intimidating it," Gerald Darmanin stated, highlighting the recent assaults on prison staff and their homes as deliberate attempts to provoke fear.
Darmanin accused individuals associated with drug trafficking as being responsible for the attacks, interpreting these actions as a backlash against the government's tougher stances on drug-related crime.
