The Paris administrative court on Thursday rejected the request of the mayors of Aubervilliers and Pantin. The latter contest the recent installation of drug addicts near a disadvantaged neighborhood.
Bertrand Kern, mayor (PS) of Pantin and Karine Franclet, city councilor (UDI) of the town of Aubervilliers saw their request rejected by the administrative court of Paris on Thursday. The summary judge in charge of the case considered that “the emergency condition“at the request of the two elected officials”cannot be regarded as satisfied“.
The mayors’ request aims to challenge the installation of 150 drug addicts in a disadvantaged district of Seine-Saint-Denis. To justify the rejection, the administrative tribunal has explained to AFP having considered that “the transfer of drug addicts who have already been carried out“, the urgency of the appeal could not be accepted.
The emergency procedure filed by the municipalities of Aubervilliers and Pantin concerns an order of the police headquarters dated September 24 which ordered the movement of drug addicts from the Jardins d’Eole to a square in the 19th arrondissement on the edge of the ring road.
Residents have demonstrated weekly since the trip of consumers of cracks. Despite this, tensions remain between residents of the neighborhood and drug addicts. No conciliation solution has yet been found. The mayors of Pantin and Aubervilliers ask that the decision to move be annulled. A wall, ordered by the Paris police headquarters, was built between Aubervilliers and the square where crack addicts are located.
This aims to prevent them from passing on the side of the suburbs. This wall arouses strong criticism from its detractors. They see it as a symbol of the state’s powerlessness in the face of a scourge that has plagued the region for many years. northeast Parisian.
