President Macron stated that the bourgeoisie in urban centers contribute to the financing of drug traffickers, emphasizing the need for a prevention policy.

During a meeting of the Council of Ministers, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that "sometimes the bourgeoisie in city centers are the ones who finance drug traffickers," according to Government spokesperson Maud Bregeon. Macron emphasized the importance of a prevention and awareness policy, highlighting the contradiction between mourning for victims and drug consumption.

He also insisted on the need for an interministerial approach, both at the local and international level, to combat the problem of drug trafficking, which has become a central topic in public debate, especially after the assassination of Mehdi Kessaci, the brother of an environmental activist.
