In France, cars were burnt and one prison was hit by automatic gunfire in an apparent response to the government's intensified anti-drug measures. Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin has vowed to take decisive action against drug trafficking, sparking these violent retaliations. Several vehicles were torched across multiple prison locations, and a prison in Toulon suffered gunfire damage. Union FO Justice condemned these attacks as direct assaults on institutional integrity and called for urgent government action to address escalating violence linked to narcotics control.
Cars have been set on fire near several prisons in France while one was targeted with automatic gunfire, in possible retaliation against government anti-drug policies, justice ministry officials said on Tuesday.
Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin and Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau have vowed to intensify the fight against narcotics and drug-related crime.
All this appeared to have been coordinated and is clearly linked to the anti-drug gang strategy, a source told AFP after the incidents recorded overnight to Tuesday.
These criminal acts are a full-on attack on our institution, on the republic and the staff who serve the republic every day.
