The project will not last 48 hours. This Tuesday, in a press release, the Paris police headquarters announced the abandonment of the project to move crack consumers to the site of the 12th arrondissement of Paris.
The prefect of police affirms there to take “note of the virulent opposition of the mayor of Paris to any project of displacements of the users of the crack out of the place Auguste-Baron”.
The prefect of police castigates the refusal of the town hall of Paris
Didier Lallement, who indicated on Tuesday that he wanted to move crack consumers from north-eastern Paris to a railway wasteland in Bercy, regrets the position of the Paris town hall and its refusal to “make the slightest proposal”.
He also rejects the repeated reproaches of inaction by the police in their fight against traffickers and consumers and continues to ask the city of Paris to clean up the current camp where, according to him, debris and huts accumulate, refusing that a “slum” that would hide drug trafficking from the police.
