NARCOTRAFIC – Marche blanche hommage à Mehdi Kessaci et contre le NarcoTrafic à Marseille

Ce 22 novembre s’est déroulée une marche blanche à Marseille organisée à l’appel de la famille de Mehdi Kessaci, tué par balles le 13 novembre en plein jour dans la cité phocéenne. Le départ de ce rassemblement a eu lieu depuis le rond-point où le jeune homme a été abattu, et le parcours complet a été gardé secret pour des raisons de sécurité alors que des milliers de personnes étaient attendues.

La marche avait pour double objectif de rendre hommage à Mehdi Kessaci, deuxième frère du militant anti-narcotrafic Amine Kessaci a être assassiné, et de protester publiquement contre l’emprise des réseaux de narcotrafic à Marseille et plus largement en France. De nombreuses personnalités politiques, dont des membres du gouvernement ainsi que des responsables locaux étaient annoncées. Ce rassemblement et recueillement s’inscrit dans une escalade de la violence liée aux trafics de stupéfiants à Marseille. La mort de Mehdi Kessaci a été perçue comme un acte d’intimidation visant son frère Amine Kessaci, militant engagé contre le narcobanditisme.

Au-delà de Marseille, plusieurs initiatives similaires étaient organisées dans de nombreuses villes de France, où des rassemblements et marches de soutien ont été annoncés pour dénoncer la violence liée au narcotrafic, demander davantage de moyens pour la lutte contre les trafics et rappeler la responsabilité de l’État dans certains territoires laissés à l’écart.

Hang up one because you won’t have enough. Yeah, yeah. [Music] Hello ma’am. Hello ma’am. We also have white t-shirts if you want, but I see… You want a white t-shirt? Well, honestly, it moved me, you know, to come here following the cowardly assassination of these people who killed an innocent person. I live in the northern districts and I know about this because I’ve met Amine Kessassi several times regarding his struggle in the community. I’m involved in the Federation of Citizen Councils and the Citizen Council of the 15th Northeast, and out of solidarity, I came because we all need to stand up for the Republic and provide the necessary resources, especially a Marshall Plan, because I think the State is increasingly vulnerable and now, well, these individuals are endowed with legislative power. The material and financial resources are beyond the means available to the state, and this is what frightens the people living in the northern districts. You can be killed just like that by a bullet, like SKNA, or by others, without even being part of the network. And now, I hope that the state, the sovereign state, will provide the necessary resources. And not just constantly engage in public relations, bringing people in for a quick visit and then leaving. Because in Marseille, as in other regions, particularly Grenoble, we are constantly plagued by this trafficking. Unfortunately, we have more and more consumers buying these products from all sorts of sources, from all kinds of professional backgrounds, and at some point, well , listen, the law needs to provide all the necessary resources. Now , it’s the resources that are needed. So, I’m here out of solidarity with the family, with all the families who have been bereaved by others, by people who have been killed. And it’s unfortunate that in 2025, we’re living under police protection because of our convictions, because we’re activists, and because we want to make our voices heard in these neighborhoods. The best way to get out of this situation is, firstly, to have resources, human resources, you know. We’ve had budget cuts to community centers in high schools and middle schools, and there are fewer and fewer teachers. There’s a decline in public services. During the summer, during summer camps, we struggle to keep young people occupied. It’s frightening. It’s frightening. Are you afraid? Yes, of course, because I’m involved in my neighborhood, and I’ve also been a victim of worse things. Uh, I almost died, you know, let’s just say, but uh, I’m still standing. But would you agree to say a little something? Once , my daughter’s room was hit by a few impacts on her bedroom window. Yeah. Yeah. It’s been over a year and a half. I don’t know if it was targeted at me or something, but uh, there was no investigation, nothing. They came. Well, I think the problem is that the magistrates are overwhelmed with cases, since I think there are quite a few drug traffickers they’ve arrested. They’re waiting for their trials, not to mention the resources needed at the court level. We need more investigators. Well, no, they’re… when you see that there are prison officers who are victims of intimidation, violence, and also of magistrates, can you imagine? So I think that’s where it ‘s becoming more and more… well, you know. You’re talking about consumers, everyone. Yes. That’s for sure. Well, me, consumers, you know, now they all have the means to buy shellfish. Now, when you see that some are delivered to the 8th arrondissement, that they’re Uber Eats when it’s something else, well, it doesn’t surprise me. And then it’s a scourge, it’s a disease. What are we doing in terms of prevention? Right now? What are we doing right now? Do you see any awareness campaigns for young people, starting in primary school, or any drug education for them? Not at all, we see nothing. That’s it, in a state governed by the rule of law. But I don’t know if I live in a state governed by the rule of law, sir, with all this. I don’t know. Explain to me why it was important, especially to support the family, you know? So, to show that we’re here and that we want to fight against these crimes, these murders, you know, so that it stops one day. A 20-year-old who leaves like that for nothing. In the end, he gave his life for nothing, and I see that our political leaders are doing nothing. They come here, you ‘ll see them all here, and then nothing. We won’t see them again. We’ll see them at the next election in 2026 or 2027, but that’s all. But otherwise, we’re here mainly for the pain, to support the family. That’s it, quite simply. Do you think there will be a before and after? It’s going to be hard because there have been quite a few here in Marseille and nothing has changed. So I hope, in any case, I hope things will change, but I’m not really optimistic. Because the politicians don’t do much, because, well, no, they don’t do much. Well, I mean, no, they haven’t done much since, what? I’ve been in France for 60 years and in Marseille for 30. And I see that it’s always the same. They always talk. They come, they’re there. It’s true, they’re there, they’ll come, they’ll go in front of the cameras, they’ll give a speech, they’ll say that things will change, that they’ll make decisions. There ‘s no action. Thank you. There’s no action. So, in my opinion, it won’t change. Earlier, I was talking to a woman. I heard her and I… Yeah, exactly. Earlier, I was talking to a woman who told me she was afraid of everyday life. Do you share that fear? Do you… I can understand her, but uh, I don’t feel it myself. Honestly, we’re not… it’s true that I don’t live in the projects, I’m a bit outside of Marseille. I used to live in Marseille, now I’m outside, but well, I don’t think we’re really… No, in the street, no, maybe in the projects they’re afraid. There’s a fear that will settle in for a little while, and then we’ll each go back to our lives, and I think we won’t forget, but until the next one, what I’m saying is unfortunately that’s what the next one will be like. I hope it will be okay, that it will be better, and that the future will tell. In any case, there you have it. But what he did there, the news, few people would be capable of doing that. Sometimes I want to say hello, ma’am. Hello. Hello. So where are we going? Here, here, that way. Hello, the guy has it for him. No, no. I rowed . [Music] I hope not behind my back. He’s here. To hear you. Thank you everyone. I’m the father of. Thank you everyone for coming. Thank you. Thank you. Please stay like that, please. Noon, who sat down, we have to stay, that’s the first departure for the gentleman who sat down. Mohamed, at noon, we have to stay like this in the south, please. There’s no need for this or that or that or that, we have to think about the safety of the French. Stay like this, please. Thank you. Thank you very much. Bravo. I’m coming, I’m coming. [Music] Yeah, that’s right. Who’s coming forward? Yeah. Screw, duck. [Music] Enough, enough, enough, enough. Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Mine Justice for Justice for Justice Justice for Justice Justice for Justice Political Justice Justice for mine, justice for justice for mine, justice for mine, justice for justice, justice, justice. What we want to propose now, to pay tribute to Médine, is that we observe a true minute of silence together. So, what we propose now is for you, who are so many of you here today in Marseille at this Claude Darcy roundabout, to do is to observe this minute of silence together. Thank you. Courage. Thank you very much. I’m going to propose another slogan. A slogan that follows the family who have been sitting since their first child, the first member among them, was taken from them. More equality, less crime. Did everyone hear and understand that? More equality, less crime. Justice for my Justice for Mr. Justice for Mr. Justice for Mr. Justice for justice for justice for justice, … This message , delivered in the street, is on behalf of my family, torn apart by grief, on behalf of all my loved ones. I want to thank you for being here today. My brother M was innocent. His only crime was being my brother. He was good, upright, and sincere. He had his whole life ahead of him. Remember his name, make others remember it, or whisper it—it doesn’t matter. Repeat his name a thousand times. Don’t let him fall into oblivion, which is a second death. But tell me, tell me, tell me, my brother, I am inconsolable. I demand justice for Mine, I demand justice for Brahim, our murdered brother. I demand justice for all the victims. I demand safety for my family. My brother M wanted to be a peacekeeper. Peace must return to our neighborhoods. Our youth must be able to grow up without fear of death. My brother died for nothing, and we are treated like dirt. We too are worthwhile. We too are worth a future. Our nights, too, are filled with nightmares and dreams. We, too, love our parents, and our parents love their children. My heart is too heavy with grief to receive any decoration. A politician suggested I receive the Legion of Honor, but I seek no honor. I seek justice for my brother, Lady. It is the mothers in the neighborhoods who deserve a medal for their courage, their dignity, their daily struggle. My mother fought to raise and protect us, and today she has lost two sons. Yet it is she who allows me to stand. For her, I will not hide. I will continue to say what my eyes see, what my mind knows, and what my heart dictates. For years, we have been sounding the alarm, speaking out because we know that silence kills. Every setback in our institutions has facilitated the advance of drug trafficking, the withdrawal of public services, the end of community policing, the inadequate resources for investigators, and the teachers who are asked to do so much while receiving so little. This is what he does for the traffickers. Of course, we need police officers, we need security. Of course, we need to strengthen the resources for fighting drug trafficking. But we also need social justice, commitment from the state and local authorities, and support for the associations that do the work every day with very limited resources. And I know what I’m talking about. For years, the Conscience association, chaired by my mother, has been operating with paltry resources. We’re not asking for charity, we’re asking for justice. All of France needs to understand what’s happening in our neighborhood. This country turned a blind eye to what we’re going through, and now it’s waking up to a monster that has infiltrated everywhere. The psychological suffering and the misery that are on display are powerful weapons in their hands. They prey on the lost children of the Republic, dehumanizing them by training them like ferocious beasts. Then, in the background, docile slaves. That’s the truth about drug trafficking. Drug trafficking controls, drug trafficking corrupts, and drug trafficking kills. No one can say we didn’t know anymore. My brothers are dead, but all of you are alive. We are alive. I don’t know what my life will be like now, but what I do know is that I need you, I need your long-term commitment. Join the resistance, fight, because to fight is to live. I want to see every hand raised, raised to the sky to pay tribute to my murdered brothers. Stand up to say we are together. Stand up to say this country will not bow its head. Raise your hands and stand up. Don’t sit back and wait for drug trafficking to destroy our lives and our country. For our neighborhoods, for justice, for our families, for our lives, let’s stand up, stand up, stand up. Yeah. [Music] Thank you. I think you can continue to applaud, raising your arms to show them that we resist, to show them that we stand in solidarity with the family who are being murdered, to show them that we have no right to take away a child so young, with life within him. To show them, for everyone here in Medi, to show them that we will remain standing not just today, but every day, alongside today, to show them that we will not give up, to tell them that they are not alone. Justice, justice for justice, Medi, justice for my family, justice for my family, justice for my family, justice for my family, justice for my family, justice for my family, justice for my family, justice for justice … No mother can bear to see the child she brought into her womb become a corpse. I saw him lying here on the ground. My son M was sweet; I loved him instantly. My darling son, he loved giving flowers. He was thoughtful and always attentive. He showed me boundless love, so much so that he prayed to God to leave before me. But I never would have thought things would turn out this way. This is the second son he has taken from me. How many times have they tried to torture me by tearing out my heart? Murderer, you have already killed me, but you will never kill my love, the love I have for my children. Forgive me. I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for you. People speak of you as if you were heartless wild animals. Do you ever think you will start a family? What will you say to your children and your mothers? Have you thought about your mothers? Are they proud of you? As proud as I am of my children? How proud I am of my son! Courage, courage, courage. I am so proud of my son, whose life you have just stolen. He was barely 20 years old, had just finished his baccalaureate, and wanted to become a police officer by taking the entrance exam. He had made the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca while you were plotting your deaths. He was working. The day you killed him, he was leaving his classes for his BTS Banking degree. I’m speaking to you as a mother. Think of your future, think of building your own lives. The devastation you have just sown will lead to nothing good. Today, I hear that a 12-year-old child was killed in Grenoble. This has to stop for all the families struck by this scourge. I demand justice and peace. Finally, I’m thinking of the other mothers who have also lost a child and whose hearts will be forever broken. We are together; our sorrow unites us. I thank everyone who has shown their support to my family. We cannot respond to everyone, but may God bless each and every one of you. I urge the government to fully grasp the gravity of the situation. Too many innocent people are falling victim, and have already fallen. Thank you. For M, say justice for M, justice for M, justice for my, justice for my, justice for my, justice for my, justice for my, justice for my, justice for my, justice for my, justice for my, justice for my, justice for not seeing the young children. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Justice [Music] cowardly murdered by savages here on this roundabout, and never say that again. Thank you. [Music] Thank you, thank you [Applause] to you. We are counting on you. Amine and Medy Wassila’s mother asked you to be present, to raise your voices to remember me, to keep the memory of me alive, to remind you of the young man he was, incredibly kind, incredibly generous. He loved flowers, he loved life, he also had a great sense of humor, and he loved his mother. They asked you to raise your voices, to remember not only today, but in the days to come. We are moving towards the end of this silent march and gathering. I want to ask you several things. I ‘m going to ask you to do something, but after that, M’s family will first lay flowers and candles. We won’t have enough for everyone, but for those who are closest to us. We’ll try to organize things a little while respecting each other. There are people here to direct you. But for those who want to go to the place where Med was murdered, where there are already flowers, we thank you all for sending them . We’ll have some flowers and some candles. You can lay them or simply pay your respects. But before doing that, and we really ask you to do this calmly, one after the other, respectfully, before doing that, Amine, at the end of his message, asked you to raise your hands as a sign of resistance. So, I suggest that before we do that, we all raise our hands high in the air to tell the drug traffickers that we do n’t want their world, that we won’t accept it, that the Kessass family stands tall. That we will be there with them, standing tall. That’s a promise we make to them. We raise our hands high to say it, to shout it loud and clear. It needs to be seen, to be heard throughout the country, across France, the hexagon, the overseas territories, in Europe, in the world, that we say we will never forget MDI, that we say we will stand with the family who are Sassi. And we can applaud so that Medy hears us wherever he is. Thank you. And I invite Sila to lay the first flowers, then the family, and then the people behind, one after the other. Thank you all for being here. Thank you, and let’s pay tribute to Médi. Justice for justice for justice for justice for Jesus for [Music] your mom. Excuse me. Sister of the sister, open [Music] open it, there it is, but safe for her, where is it? Wait, yes, she , attention please, don’t push too far behind, you haven’t backed away and I can’t see, I recommend you back away, calmly let the family lay the flowers. Yeah. He’s not even coming, I want to be able to see the family, please, all the people in front of me, let’s back up, come on, let’s back up, people who want to bring flowers, you can do that later, we ‘ll let the family, I explained it to you earlier, we’ll let the family first. And once the family has laid the flowers and had a moment of silence, you will have the opportunity to go. There are people who will signal to you. Just assume that you have n’t been signaled to, that’s all. Okay? And I need the people in front of me to move aside. I don’t see the family, I said it, I’ll say it again. As long as I don’t see the family, you’re not in the right place. There they are, right in front of me. Right in front of me. I want to see the family. You want to see the family right in front of me? I’m here, I’m proud. Thank you, I know you’re waiting in front of the pride. And at the same time. You can keep cheering for my eyes, you can applaud, you can raise your hands. Go ahead. We need to feel that we’re together. For Mine, for M, justice for my 10, justice for my 10, justice for my 10, for 10, for my 10, for my justice for noon, justice for noon, justice for noon, justice for noon, justice for noon, justice for noon, justice for noon, justice for noon, to tell me justice, to tell me justice, to tell me justice for my, justice for justice for . Oh yeah, that’s fine. Come on, let’s go out, like , you can raise your hands . Since I’m holding the microphone, I can’t do it. Can you clap your hands? [Applause] Goodbye. We’re here. You call me and we’ll help you. And I’ll see your mother as soon as she’s in Paris. [Laughter] I need [Music] [Music] Come on, [Music] Amine, hold on, hold on, look, there’s a child who’s good to you, only there, waiting. [Music] Thank you very much. I’m going to ask the dignitaries, the elected officials, who are here, if they can lay the flowers and candles, and then everyone can, calmly and respectfully, come and lay their candles too. Thank you all for your presence from the bottom of my heart. From the bottom of my heart, a big thank you. AV, [Music] We’re moving forward, we’re moving forward. Courage, courage behind us. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I’ll say what happened, the last word of refusing resignation in the face of violence. It is, of course, this matter, it’s the State’s business, but it’s also the nation’s business as a whole. And me, a few weeks ago, just a few weeks ago, I was with the Douniers in Marseille, and he was telling me, “But we don’t know if the country is aware of the abyss.” I think that today the country has become aware, and this shouldn’t just be a gathering; it’s a struggle that will take a long time, but we owe it to the dignity of the bereaved family and we owe it to France. Just now, de Medsi’s mother explained that she was heartbroken, inconsolable. How do we support this family today? How do we stop this scourge that has become drug trafficking? This family is setting an example. You heard those words; they were heartbreaking, honestly, and we must be worthy of the courage he shows, worthy of the words he speaks, worthy of the emotions he shares. And how do we do that? Well, we’re already present, and we’re not limiting ourselves to a single day of mobilization. It’s an ongoing fight. The Republic has overreached, and Amin’s words are profound. He said that an uncompromising fight against drug trafficking was necessary, that this fight required the police, the justice system, but also the presence of the Republic in the neighborhoods, refusing to accept the withdrawal of public services, the abandonment, and that to effectively combat drug traffickers, we need investigators, but we also need justice and a climate of agreement. And when you have kids being shot with Kalashnikovs, yes, there is a climate of terror, and it is absolutely essential that the Republic not bow its head and that we have a society that stands tall, that stands tall. And you know, drug traffickers are primarily in it for the money, of course, but they create a climate of total domination. And if we let this climate take hold, well, it will be a cancer throughout the whole of society. You know, when you talk to the security services, when you talk to customs officers, they tell you that the corruption is only just beginning. When you have so much money available, you realize that when customs officers open the drug dealers’ shipments—well, the traffickers’ shipments—there are cameras with microphones that talk and say, “We see you.” It gets to the point where they directly threaten state services, where they murder a young man to intimidate his brother who has decided to take up this fight. It’s a point where they can bribe court clerks, state officials. I mean , if we don’t pull ourselves together, we could cross the line. So, it’s a constant struggle, and it also involves the justice system, as this exemplary family has reiterated. You’ve crossed the line, it feels like we’ve already crossed it. Yes, of course. It’s a tipping point. It’s been 10 years. It’s been 10 years. It’s been 10 years that they’ve been pushing me over the edge. But the truth is, there are moments of resurgence, and so it has to be more than just a gathering; it has to be a moment where we collectively say that we don’t want to live in this world and that we can’t believe it’s going to be confined to certain neighborhoods. In fact, what’s happening is that there ‘s been a great deal of selfishness, let’s be honest, because everyone thought they wouldn’t be directly affected. But that moment has to be over. There’s no respite. The problem is that President Macron came a year ago declaring he would clean house. Today, the place is bloodied. We have a 20-year-old kid who was innocent, who did nothing wrong, and who is dead. And he’s not the first, and he probably won’t be the last. So enough with the speeches. It’s time to act. We’re tired of just observing the situation. Well done. That’s true. Thank you very much. In tribute to Mi, in support of the Kessassi family. They are a family that lives with dignity, that stands tall, and that unfortunately has had to pay a very heavy price for standing tall. And so this mobilization today must transform into lasting solidarity for this family, for all families, and in the fight against drug trafficking. That’s all. That’s it, we’re stopping. Thank you. We are observing a day of mourning with Mine’s family. Both Camine and his mother displayed exceptional dignity, and we must rise to the occasion of what they are going through, of what they are asking of us: not to give up, and to fight relentlessly now against drug traffickers, against those whose sole objective is money, who despise life, who despise youth, who despise everything we hold most dear. And so, in a moment like this, all those involved in politics have a duty to step aside and stand together without seeking any exploitation. That is the party; their dignity compels us. The Socialist Party is nevertheless calling for a debate. How do you hope to move things forward in the fight against drug trafficking? There were reports published last year, notably by Jérôme Durin. A law was passed. Now, its implementation must be as swift as possible, and the French people must understand the reasons behind this choice to combat drug trafficking, which is a cancer that attacks each of our children. I have four children, and I understand the pain this mother is going through today. That’s all. Thank you very much. Hello, 15 years, 15 years in 2015, you’re still remembering it, it’s very hard. We could have been supported, even just a little. It’s too much. Other people are doing well, it’s okay, we need to help the families. Thank you, sir, for coming here today to offer our support to Wassila. It’s a very heavy ordeal that is being repeated once again, and so it was necessary to be here to say stop. Did he die for nothing? Do you hope there’s a before and after? For me, they all died for nothing. For me, whether you do something or not, you don’t deserve to die. And our children—because for me they are our children— they are all victims, they’re not here today. They were robbed of their right to live. But at some point, there’s a failure, and for me, that failure lies with the State because when they cut off public services in the housing projects, when they took away our access to the CAF (Family Allowance Fund), when they took away our access to social security, when they When they stopped funding for associations, when they cut funding for community centers, when they stopped community policing, when they stopped maintaining and supporting youth workers, I’m sorry, but at some point, it’s just not possible anymore. We can’t repress people and expect to make progress. It’s impossible. We’re human beings, we’re not numbers, we’re not statistics. And what saddens me is that today, we’re losing our children. And these residents of the northern neighborhoods, they have a shorter life expectancy in any field. What are we going to do? I’m thinking about these young people. What are they going to do? I was just talking to a woman who lives in these neighborhoods, and she told me she was afraid. Do you understand that fear? Are you afraid too? I’m afraid of the future. Not that I’m afraid per se. What will be, will be. I’m a very… uh… down-to-earth person. I live life as it comes. However, yes, I’m afraid of our children’s future because I think to myself, if we continue like this, what are we going to do? What are we going to do? We’re going to deprive them of a future. That’s what bothers me today, this reform, this “white” reform, if we get to the heart of the matter, which automatically eliminates young people from working-class neighborhoods from accessing respectable and prestigious universities. Why? That’s the real question. If they turn to… uh… equal professions, it’s perhaps because they haven’t been given a chance. I’ve worked with young people, I work in crime prevention, with them before this. We made resumes for these young people and they were rejected. Do you know why? Because they live in a neighborhood that isn’t very up to standard. So at a certain point, when you’re fighting for survival, when you can’t feed yourself, when the fridge is empty, unfortunately—and I don’t condone it and I never will—unfortunately, some people find themselves resigned because they aren’t strong enough and they might give in to the easy way out. Do you think these young people, or even consumers, think about the consequences this can have, like what happened a few days ago? I think no one is really thinking about the consequences of their actions, and that we’re caught in a vicious cycle that just keeps going. The fact that there’s so much politics going on today, what’s your take on that? Well, it saddens me because when you see right-wing politicians pursuing right-wing policies, who are against the residents of working-class neighborhoods, and who come here and speak, who presume to speak and represent us when we don’t even live a quarter of what we do, I’m sorry, it’s unacceptable. That’s called political opportunism, and that ‘s no longer acceptable for us, the residents of working-class neighborhoods. We don’t want it anymore. We don’t want others to speak for us. We don’t want to be used. We don’t want to be exploited. Not today. Not at all. Absolutely not. Today, it feels like the municipal elections are a festival. In fact, it’s just a taste of what’s to come. While some are against it, they don’t even say hello. When you also hear about the mafia-like system and what’s actually happening with politicians—I’m talking about the scandals about some candidates running for municipal office who have squandered public money—they come to us and talk to us and tell us there’s this, there’s this, there’s this, there’s this, and we have to make budget cuts. Before coming to see us, the residents of working-class neighborhoods, perhaps they should reconsider the elected officials and their actual role in the assembly today. Thank you very much. They don’t mobilize when they come with amendments written by these groups of victims’ families, mothers who have lost their children, who are wiping away their children’s blood, asking them, saying to institutions that it’s not normal that it should be up to them to do it. Understand this. If they dismiss it out of hand in the National Assembly, the most democratic place possible, where all the institutions function, where the law is written, and they aren’t heard, what will happen? Do you think the ministries will act? We aren’t even capable—I say “we,” but they aren’t capable of going to the people to ask them what they’re actually experiencing in their neighborhoods. The abandonment of public services, the distancing of the Republic from these neighborhoods, which leads to more insecurity. That’s what we’re trying to do today: advocate for the return of public services. Community policing to establish that the people feel safe and to restore public order. The fact of providing resources for prevention is precisely to try and get these children, these young teenagers, out of the drug trade. They come from all over France, trying to escape a daily life that is now tragic. And it’s not me who’s going to tell you today that the lack of resources in institutions leads to young people being completely abandoned . It’s a national problem. The National Rally candidate is even calling for a state of emergency in Marseille. Yes. Well, madam, I’ve already answered that question. I think we are in a state of social emergency. I think we are in a state of democratic emergency. We have been in a state of ecological emergency for a very long time here in Marseille. And to try to introduce a measure every time there’s a murder here in Marseille is pure demagoguery. You’ve seen it, particularly with left-wing politicians who even call in the army to go into the neighborhoods, which is completely abnormal coming from these left-wing figures, I think, and I long for the Republic to reclaim its place, to regain its footing , and to put more resources into the institutions instead of incurring budgetary costs that lead precisely to situations of chaos and the complete abandonment of the population. Mr. Delogé, why is it important for you to be here today at this silent march in Marseille? I preferred to be with the people rather than at the front. And it’s important to be here for the simple reason that anything that affects a Marseillais, anything that affects a woman from Marseille, should normally be a reaction from the entire population . And so, seeing the unity of the people through this march, through this moment, I think it’s important, and I felt it was my duty, as a member of parliament but also as a simple citizen, to be here today. There you go. Thank you very much. [Music] The people fighting are in the associations. Can I tell you something? I’ve been working in Marseille since 2015. Yes. And I live in the neighborhoods. Yes. The northern neighborhoods. Yes, yes, but work for the city. Work for the city. You know the city doesn’t have… No, but I know, I’ve done a lot of… No, I prefer to tell you like… Yes, yes, okay. But we make a lot of housing requests and they haven’t been… Well, they don’t give me any, I don’t want hooded people who came to my house. So, what do I do? Take justice into my own hands? No, not at all. Not at all. You know very well that this isn’t the day for me to do… I want peace and quiet. I want peace and quiet, it gives me something. I’ve been working since 2004. There you go. And we’re here for you, and we’re here so you can vote. Yes, yes. No, but no, I’m not here for you to vote for me or not for me. That’s not the point. I want things to change, and you know what I’m talking about. There you go. Clearly, public services, how do we get back to what the State needs to do? Why is there something like this? The State needs to open positions, the State needs to open police stations, it needs to open branches of the… Social security, it must open branches of, of work, for example, excuse me, the local program that is being massacred, the PMI that is being massacred, the MDS that no longer exist, how do we manage the decline of, of staff, all these questions are sovereign issues. The State, of course, is the police and it is the justice system, but the Republic is something else. We are barely hanging on. We are the last to fund associations. We are the last to fund solidarity centers or social centers. You have seen what is happening in Marseille. Where do we actually put the money? So, I don’t want to. I am angry and I don’t want to create controversy today. Mr. Mayor, what does this mean to you personally? Thank you, sir. It represents something important to everyone. That’s why we’re talking about space, and we’re going to do that. We’re not going to do politics today. No, we mustn’t do politics. It’s not the day. We’re not doing it. You told the residents, Mr. Mayor, we’re not doing politics today. Yes, we mustn’t create controversy today. We’re here for MI, we’re here for the Republic, we’re here for life, we’re here for Marseille. We’re not here to create controversy. I would like people to come together. We need unity. Today is also a battle against a mafia, against people who kill, against people who sow death around them. And so we must all say together that we are not afraid, that we stand tall, that we are united, that we are supported, and that we are holding hands. And that’s important. What would you like us to remember from this garden day? That the people of Marseille are courageous men and women, that they braved the cold, they braved their fear to say that they don’t accept that in their city there are people who kill to instill fear, that they don’t accept that in their city there are narco-terrorists. And that’s something very important because the people of Marseille see that we are making progress on the issue of schools, we are making progress on urban renewal. Now, the State needs to grasp the full extent of this rule of law. But as I told you today, I’m not being controversial or political. There you go. [Music] the [Music] we’ll have to go over there maybe just It’s tough. Yeah. [Music] not having a place. Ah, here, here it’s the wind, no, it’s the wind, but try to light one at the same time as one lights up, one goes out. We’ll light one, yes, yes, or would you like me to light it for you, ma’am? [Music] Thank you, ma’am. Oh no, you mustn’t… You managed to light it, G? Not yet. Hold on tight. We’ll do it, association, conscience. I had met his mother, all the mothers who take care of, well, both to carry the memory of their deceased children and also to protect the children who remain. And I have always been amazed by the fact that he is as humble as he is courageous and by this incredible strength for his young age. I still have trouble accepting his real age. I met him when he was 19; he’s 22 now. And you see what he’s done this week, losing his youngest brother, holding his head high, appearing on the most prestigious media outlets in this country with absolute dignity and poise, and with so much love too. I think few people on this planet are capable of that, and we’re very, very proud. I just spoke with him briefly; we’re very, very proud to have Amine in our movement, and he knows that we’ll always be there for him, today, tomorrow, and every day after. He needs to take some time for himself and his family. But when that time comes, he’ll feel ready. He knows he can count on us. Whatever he wants to do. Amine has repeatedly challenged political figures regarding Théo’s current drug trafficking: what should be done? Should we form a united front to fight this drug trafficking? Well, I think we need to take a step back and reflect because drug-related crime isn’t just trafficking anymore, it’s drug-related crime. It’s clear we can’t fight it without a public health and prevention policy . I’m starting with this because we have a deputy mayor in Marseille, Michel Rubirola, who is a public health physician, who is fighting hard for this, to say, of course, that we need repression , that we need police presence on issues like this, but we can’t address addictions without prevention, without public health. And we can clearly see, excuse me, in this country, that since 1992, cannabis consumption has doubled. The more we try to repress, the more cocaine consumption increases, thirtyfold in ten years. So at some point, we have to be able to, when we see that we’re wrong, when we see that we’re at an impasse with our policies and with drug trafficking, we’re at an impasse in this country. We’re at an impasse with drug use in this country. When we’re at an impasse, we have to be able to turn around. Not to say, “We’re stopping the repression,” but to say that it’s not working. We see the public square operations, the big PR campaigns, and then when the police and cameras leave, in an afternoon, the young people killed in gangland killings are replaced within an hour. So we’re fighting with outdated political tools on issues that are, well, persistent. They’re always one step ahead of us, I feel. And I also get the impression that the crackdown is very focused on what we manage to catch, that is, at the bottom of the chain, the young people, you know, who go to the police station, and we never go after the big players. We have to manage to target their financial flows, to hit them where it hurts. So, prevention is key, and then they hit the top of the chain because we can clearly see that the courts and police stations are clogged with kids who will be replaced the next day. That’s the truth. So we have to be able to question ourselves. French policy is one of the worst working in all of Europe. So we have to be able to admit that, and also tell ourselves that someone who died for nothing today might not have died for nothing tomorrow because we will have been able to raise this issue. Is there a growing awareness among the middle class today? Well, I know that environmentalists participated in about thirty rallies across France today. It was important for us to be in Marseille because we wanted to be there for Amine, for his family. But there were rallies all over the country today, and I think that ‘s important. But what’s also important is the platform that allowed Amine, for three people, to look his brother’s murderers in the eye and tell them, “You will not bring me down.” Because what’s happening in France today is that there are more and more settling of scores. We knew it; there were stray bullets in Marseille, in particular, but not only stray bullets. You can lose your life because you weren’t the target and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. But now, with Mi’s assassination, the new threshold has been crossed: you can die for speaking out or being close to someone who dared to talk about drug trafficking and to say that they weren’t hiding . And that, I must say, deeply affected me. I spoke quite a bit with the mayor of Marseille, Benoît Paillant, and I put myself in the shoes of all the elected officials in Marseille who, with every statement they make on the subject, will think about the risk I took, and will think about their children, their loved ones, their friends. And that, uh, that’s… that would be… It’s truly tragic for public debate. And then we clearly see that the next step, well , it’s about having companies, engaging in political maneuvering, being able to award themselves public contracts, and we don’t want Marseille to become like Palermo . So I think it was logical for us to stand alongside all the elected officials of Marseille, regardless of their political affiliation, to tell them, “We’re here, we know what’s happening, we’re thinking of you, and we won’t abandon you.” This must be a national, non-partisan cause. Yes, but I really want to emphasize that Amine, for a thousand reasons, could have said, “I’m giving it all up.” The guilt, well, it’s still terrible what he went through. It’s like his second brother is dying, and there, clearly, is the message directed at him. And I find that this open letter he managed to write, to publish, it’s incredibly powerful, full of strength and love. And again, I think there are few people who have been able to react with such dignity, and I just spoke with Amine and his mother. They are truly incredible. What did you tell them? That’s our business, but like all the members of this party, I’m devastated from the start because Amine—well, a few of us knew— had been under police protection for weeks, but we couldn’t talk about it too much because it could have put her in even more danger. And it’s true that I know that at the funeral, many of my friends, elected officials from Marseille or Marseille activists, told me, “But Marine,” they called me afterward, saying, “Marine, he was wearing a bulletproof vest, he was surrounded by armed men.” And many fellow activists in Marseille were really affected by what Amine had been going through for weeks, and what he was going through alone because he wasn’t allowed to talk about it. They understood, well, why maybe he hadn’t run for mayor, even though it was planned. You see, my fellow activists here, they were devastated by this, by his personal story, and because he had gone through it all alone without being able to talk about it. So it was very important that the mayor of this environmentalist district, Adentirola, was here. Our group, the environmental family, will also be present in Marseille, as elsewhere, alongside Amine and all those who continue to fight with him. But I really hope that we’re not just here for a weekend where you’re all here, like us, because there’s a silent march, and then everyone will go home and we won’t talk about it anymore. We can’t continue, we can’t let this go on because a line has been crossed and there are other lines that await us if we don’t all take action. But it also means being clear-sighted about the failure of public policies on this issue, questioning them, and doing better. That’s it. Thank you. Hello everyone. Madam, I spoke with you earlier with the family of friends you mentioned, how did it go? Earlier today, as you know, the people of Marseille have been rallying around them since the assassination of little Médi. So, last Thursday, well, how can I put it? There are so few words to describe what happened, to brutally murder an innocent man like that to send a message. The President of the Republic called for this mobilization on Sunday. I want this mobilization—well, I don’t want anything specific, but the family, us Marseillais, we children of the neighborhoods, we are rising up. This is a matter of national unity, I will say it and I will continue to say it. It’s not about political affiliation or political parties. Not at all. There’s nothing political in all of this. There’s just something: this tragedy that happened must be the foundation, the catalyst for what will allow the nation to stand together against these assassins, these criminals, these savages. Because here, we are dealing with something so inhuman, something It’s so beyond comprehension that the only message to convey is: it happened, we failed to prevent it. We failed collectively, all of us, to protect MDI and so many others. What do we do? Despair can lead to two things. As I said, despair leads to hatred or it leads to struggle and love. Amine’s mother, Amine, his sisters—here is his mother, Amine, his sister Zora, his sister Sarah, his father—they are so dignified. They are so filled with hatred, with desire, with a thirst for justice. What can the nation do for them? They are behind them, but not just today. This is a fight for life, for future generations. We’re talking about a long-term struggle because when you confront inhumanity, savagery, you know, we all know it’s not over a year, a month, or a term in office. That’s not how it works. To bring things back to something humane will require decades of struggle. But we’re all in this together. We’re a great country, the 6th largest economy in the world. We can’t accept this continuing. For me, at least, that’s been the whole point of my commitment to them because, as you know, everyone is here today. I want everyone to be here with them and with all the victims. We ‘ve buried so many dead in Marseille and everywhere else. I’m thinking of everyone today, and Amine Wassila’s mother said the same thing. I don’t think I’m thinking of all the mothers who are grieving. And you saw it earlier, I had to finish the speech, his mother’s little message. But any mother who’s been hurt and whose heart has been torn out would have said exactly the same words. So what should we do? You were at the President’s side when he launched these Place Net operations, which didn’t have the desired effects. What are we doing today? Do we have the resources to combat trafficking? So, let me tell you, media, you bear a huge responsibility because you don’t look at the numbers. What are you doing? First, we have to commit and tell the drug traffickers we’re not afraid. Okay? Place Net has yielded results, and that’s the answer to Place Net because when you target the drug dealing spots, when you strike at the heart of what they are—that is, their financial interests—make no mistake, they respond by saying, “We can target anyone, anytime, as long as you decide to wage this war on us.” So stop saying—and I’m telling you, what do you think?—that leaving the drug dealing spots open was a better solution. None of you, or very few of those in positions of power, have ever lived in a neighborhood. Have never buried someone. No, not all of you, not all of you. Okay. We have buried young people. We got involved. We said we don’t want to go to that side of the fence, and I’m not the only one. There are hundreds of thousands, even millions of us who have said we want to choose the right side of the fence because we were very lucky to be born in France. So to say that’s not the point. The point is that as long as we continue to press their interests hard, they will try to respond to us. But the answer, our answer, at least the answer of mothers like me— because it’s not the former minister speaking to you, you understand, it’s the child from the poor neighborhoods of Marseille, and it’s the mother who answers, who says, “But what do you think, that we’re going to go and keep counting?” No, no, I want to, I wish, as the family wishes, and I stand with them. It’s me, you know, you have to be very humble to stand behind them and say that this is a matter of national unity, a national fight. Not just to explain that taking drugs is wrong. No, we’re talking about saving lives here, no room for politics, room for everything we… will be able to unite us around them. And of course, you know, we have, you know, we have the rule of law. We must fight with our weapons, okay? And our weapons are the law. What are their weapons? Savagery. So we won’t become savages like them because we are French, and because when I see all the parents—they’re not the first, but understand—we’re in a new place, we’ve entered a new world, and so we’ll have to adapt, but all together. And I repeat, responsibly, this isn’t a political issue, it’s a matter of national unity. There are issues on which we can all come together and lay the groundwork for what this struggle will be. Well, now is the time. And I call on all those who want to get involved, to continue fighting and to say no, for us, there is no inevitability. You know, once again, despair gives two answers. What do we do? We’re afraid, we’re hiding, we keep fighting and saying no, we’re capable of going all together. All French people, from every level, from every social background, political, non-political, involved in associations, not involved in associations—that’s what we need to tell ourselves. And then, perhaps, we’ll start on the right path. The example of Amine Kessassi, the example of this young man who remains strong, you know, having lost two children—his mother lost two children, his parents lost two children, and his siblings lost two. So what more do you want us to do for them? Except tell ourselves we stand behind them. Concretely, what does this mean in practice? Because we’re talking about a sprawling problem in political terms. So, as I mentioned, you remember I said no users, no dealers. You remember the trial I faced, right? So I’ll say it again: as long as the French have such a problem with addiction and drug use, well, yeah, we’re going to have a problem. So when I talked about prevention, you know, I remember the mockery when people said, “Oh, you’re talking about prevention? That’s the ’80s!” Well, yeah, prevention matters . Yes, it matters to reinstate community policing. I’ve always been very much in favor of reintroducing it . Yes, because before, the police came in, they were with us, and we grew up with them. So, doing things again, you know, cleaning up public spaces, that’s one thing. The fight against drugs, the fight against organized crime, that’s another thing. There’s a drug law, as you know, that’s going to be enacted in January, if I’m not mistaken. And these are the legal tools to allow us to arrest them wherever they are. Don’t think they’re walking the streets of Marseille, mind you. We know where they are, hiding in the Emirates or abroad. And I’ll remind you that we were the first to appoint them, to appoint prosecutors abroad so that these criminals would be handed over to us, and so that we realize today that it’s important to be with the families every day. You know, when I left my position, I didn’t sever my ties with Marseille. I didn’t sever my ties with all those I was already working with at the ministry, trying to accomplish things. So you’re walking on two legs: on one hand, the fight against organized crime, and on the other, the fight against drug trafficking. On the other hand, we have to take care of our youth, and we can never do enough, and so what if we get too much criticism for doing so? It’s better to do too much than not enough. So for now, the government’s strategy is the right one to deal with this narco-tragic situation. This is just the beginning, I said so, anyway, if you don’t fight against these “eye points,” then I urge you to continue. You know, when you eliminate an “eye point,” you remove a market share. So the city point doesn’t come back, but these murderers are still missing a market share. Okay? So yes, we have to continue. We have no choice but to go Hit them where it hurts. I repeat, their economic and financial interests, and on the other hand, the imperative to take care of the youth. And you, we see why, why was there, why was the response so violent and so bloody? Because if we hadn’t bothered them, they wouldn’t have responded. Okay? And I really think that if there’s one subject on which we can once again reach a consensus and agree, it’s this one, the war to challenge you. I’m sorry. Excuse me, I’ve already both . Excuse me, it’s important because something, Sabrina, I’ve been an educator since 1996. I currently preside over Marseille en colère (Marseille in Anger) about poor housing, but potentially we’re all exposed. You can be something important. Yeah. Addiction. And what bothers me, Sabrina, and I was going to email Mr. Macron, is that at the summit—which, symbolically, was held on the day of that little doctor’s funeral— the Minister of Health wasn’t there, even though he was summoned. And the starting point for the fight against drug trafficking is an excellent point. The fight against addictive behaviors is important, as I mentioned. No, no, but I’ve always said, for 30 years now. And what saddens me is that we, a number of local stakeholders, are fighting with so much goodwill and so few resources, even though we’re professionals and we’ve been raising the alarm since 1996, 29 years ago. Can you explain what we’re really talking about when we talk about the fight against addictive behaviors? I mean, it’s happening in the neighborhoods. I’m educated, so I had these problems with addiction and young people using drugs. Exactly, but earlier and earlier, and so on and so forth. And for 29 years we’ve been sounding the alarm, left and right, we’ve alerted everyone, we’ve shouted, we’ve yelled, we’ve demanded resources, and in the end, the result is that young people who weren’t even born in ’96—because little MD wasn’t born, Emile wasn’t born , and so many other victims weren’t born yet—are dying today and are under the control of this drug trafficking, and often their parents too, because we have so many parents calling us who want to save their children, but the State isn’t equipped to save them, and that’s terrible. But yes, no, but wait, otherwise it wouldn’t have happened. We’re in complete agreement, but really, so now you’ll allow me to pick up on what Caouter Ben Mohamed, who is a very committed activist, just said . We’ve known each other long enough not to pretend. The fight against drugs. Of course, the fight against addictive behaviors was important to me when I took office, and you remember, I talked about it, and I invite you to go look at the comments that were made to me. Okay? Excuse me, ma’am, but excuse me, stop talking. There you go. I’m not, I’m with my family. You talk a lot, this isn’t the place to do politics today, not that. Stop talking. For me, I’m always with my family. Stop talking for nothing, stop talking for nothing. No, I’m committed, I’ve been committed for a long time. Place Net, Place Net, where is Place Net? There, the place is assembled, ma’am. Stop talking for nothing, stop talking for nothing. A child has died, respect that, respect that, ma’am. Don’t stop doing politics for nothing, ma’am. Come on, stop doing politics for nothing. We admit I had to speak up because without the Ministry of Health, you can’t do anything. I mean, we start there. As long as kids don’t understand that using drugs is complicated, that it’s dangerous, that it’s fatal, and that selling is the same, well, you can put all the girls you want on the line, you won’t eradicate anything. We’re talking about responsibility, responsibility. However, excuse me, but that’s not the point. I wanted her to answer the question. Well done, sir. Well done. We’re on the ground. We don’t just talk the talk. We’re on the ground, we’ll see. We go to the dealers, we go to the lookouts, we go to the children, we comfort the families. We ‘re from the Conscience association, we’re not here to just talk. And who cut Conscience’s funding? It was them, it was the State. The State abandoned them. And today, they’re all here like vultures. Yes, like vultures. Good work. We go into the neighborhoods, we go to see everyone, we comfort the families. We’re the ones setting up the psychological support unit for the parents, for the mothers, these mothers, they’re mothers like me. They’re my sisters in grief because I also lost a son. And today, we come and we recover, we recover, and the people on the ground who are here, Karim, the people on the ground, Ahmed, they’re here. There you go, we’re the people on the ground. Well done, ma’am. Well done. Well done. Honestly, well done. They all came because of their elections. Exactly. Well done. Subsidy couple. They’re not there when we need them, and then they come and give their speeches about respect. Did you know my Misses? Of course I knew Mi. I’m the person in charge of the families of victims with a conscience. Of course I knew my eyes, but I don’t want to get carried away because it’s pointless. You have a right to be here today to pay this important tribute. Of course it’s important, and it’s important for all the kids who died. In 2023, 50, 53 I think, died. And today they say there are only 15. But there comes a point where 15 is too many. Exactly. It’s 15 too many. We waited for M to die before the State took action, before the local authorities and elected officials came to see us. Madam, I know why there is so much misfortune and suffering on Earth because we have always been abandoned. It’s men who say they own the world and control life. Normally, it’s women and girls who learn to lead the world so that it can find peace, happiness, and love. That’s why things are going badly on Earth, and why, in times of misfortune, misery, and suffering, it’s men who have given up their place to women so that we can find peace, happiness, and love. Madam, do you feel anger today? Of course, of course. Politics, it’s a game of… No, I don’t want to go down that road. I’m saying that when we were doing our work, we went up to Grenoble, we went up to Nice, we were working with young people, we worked with young people. He brought out 23 young people, 23 young people from the neighborhoods. Who was there? Who was with us behind the scenes? What elected official came to tell us? They do good work. The subsidies, they’ve been cut. I’m going to stop talking, ma’am, please. No, but because money never talks about love. I’m the head of the families of victims of Conscience. There you go, and my colleagues are here. Those who work at Conscience are here too. And here as well. And she, there she is, the only elected official. No, no, not the only elected official. Yes, yes. No, not the only elected official. To you, with the mayor of the 45th district too, there you go, who helped us, and she’s really a very, very wonderful person who supported us a lot, and her name is Christine Juste. There you go, she’s Juste, there you go, she really lives up to her last name, but we weren’t alone, we had people with us. We had people with us, the environmentalists. The environmentalists. Thank you very much. You’re welcome. No, but there’s no… No, no, no, there’s no… You said what you… [Music] was entitled to. Watch out for the barrier, line up.
