Drug trafficking tags on Port-de-Bouc walls: the mayor's response
According to Google News FR — Crime (fr), graffiti explicitly referencing drug dealing have been painted on the walls of the municipality of Port-de-Bouc in Bouches-du-Rhône.
In response to these inscriptions, Mayor Laurent Belsola has reacted publicly with firmness. "We will not give up!" he declared, signifying the municipality's determination not to be intimidated by trafficking networks.
These tags constitute an increasingly documented phenomenon in several cities in southern France, where drug sellers use walls to signal their sales points to their customers. The municipality of Port-de-Bouc is thus directly confronted with this form of illicit advertising linked to drug trafficking.
The town hall has not specified what concrete measures would be taken to remove the inscriptions or to strengthen the fight against dealing in the sectors concerned. The matter remains closely followed by residents and local elected officials.
