Benoît Payan, the mayor of Marseille, expressed his delight over the French Interior Minister’s announcements on fighting drug trafficking but deemed them insufficient. Speaking on France Inter, Payan urged the state to allocate all necessary resources to tackle the issue comprehensively. This topic is set to be a major highlight at the 106th Congress of Mayors in Paris. While additional police investigators and a specialized court have been proposed, Payan emphasized the need for more robust actions against the drug networks operating abroad.
