Emmanuel Macron’s XXL Net Square Operation in Marseille: Successes and Future Challenges

When Emmanuel Macron arrived in March again the Head of State was interested in the city of Marseille. The launch of the XXL Net Square operation from the city that has difficulty supporting the many scores that have occurred in the past months is a way of the desire to eliminate trade show people. It is also a way to show that it is a city where we can test what has been done before, in the spirit of the Marseille en grand plan, which is supposed to be a work – the city hall tomorrow.

A month has passed. And XXL Net Place’s activity seems to have paid off. Here and there we recognize that ” it is more relaxed “what” the police are everywhere “. At a meeting with the readers of the Provence published yesterday, Gérald Darmanin announced that the number of contract points has been cut in half and reduced to zero in the Cité de la Paternal.

Future outlook

Too early to celebrate, obviously. But perhaps the opportunity for those who work
daily in the field to be more audible. Especially since the observation is unanimous: police activity, yes, but both the problem and the solution are rooted in what young people undoubtedly have the most, the expectation of a future outside the community. And education. Chérifa Bouali does not say that, but the president of Perles rares de la Castellane, who especially helps to bring food home, wants not to stigmatize all the young people in the neighborhoods. “ Traffic is everywhere, but we live normally. Young people help us carry our shopping bags “, she insists, even though she has moved since the disappearance of her son Zakaria, who was accused, and whose body was never found, to disappear, almost ten a year ago.

In Bassens, Zahra Tir’s voice still trembles when she talks about the shooting that shook this community last year, made up of 90 families who ” have known each other and lived together for sixty years “.program” shock » for everyone, and for the man who is the chairman of the society Les Femmes de Bassens, supporting mothers in helping with homework. She claims that “ we need to worry about young people from middle school, because parents are overcoming children who are poor with time spent behind the screen “. Also committed to easy money. Help is a duty ” open hope for everything ».

Giving hope for a future beyond the neighborhood, opening horizons, that is Manu Daher’s daily life. In 2019, he created Urban Conservatory, an association that teaches social codes and respect for citizenship to young people. If possible do it in a fun way, through music or sports. Thus was born the Beijing Express of bans, football tournaments between neighborhoods and even the American-style prom. ” We forget too much the ones that are not a problem », worries Manu Daher, who also laments the too large role of social networks and technology: ” Being too much behind their screens, young people no longer learn to write, they no longer have general knowledge. »

Find talents

A point on which Nadia Boulainseur, socialist mayor of the 15th and 16th arrondissements, agrees with him, even if the elected official refused to travel when Emmanuel Macron came, denying​​​​​​ coup de com » and believes that human trafficking will not be eradicated by the activities of Place netXXL. ” What are we clearly doing to stop it? What are we doing in terms of financing and bank flows? » she complains.

At the Protis Club, welcoming young people from both the northern and southern regions, we have made it our mission to find talent. ” This makes it possible to create wealth for each other, report », says Jules Sitruk, who is at the source and regularly organizes meetings with individuals, also with representatives of large groups, such as Lacoste or Forbes. “ We want to improve their ambition, show them that it is possible to join top schools. It is not the state’s job to help young people. It is education that opens up opportunities for them. » Meriem, a young girl from Castellane, is a tough example. Joining the Protis Club allowed her to believe in a future in a sector she liked and thought was out of reach: commerce. To continue the reflection, Manu Daher calls for the creation of general youth states.
