French Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, delivered an update on the ongoing anti-drug operation “place nette XXL” during his visit to Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis, this Saturday afternoon.

The operation has garnered significant attention as it marks a pivotal moment in the government’s efforts to combat drug trafficking across France.

The Minister reiterated the government’s unwavering commitment to these anti-drug operations, emphasising the necessity of a continual and robust police and gendarmerie presence in targeted areas.

Additionally, he announced plans for three new “XXL” anti-drug operations set to commence in other French cities the following Monday, underscoring the government’s proactive approach in addressing drug-related issues.

He highlighted the importance of addressing addiction, education, parental authority, and collaboration with local authorities in this collective effort.

The Minister’s announcement comes in the wake of anti-drug raids commencing across France on Monday, following President Emmanuel Macron’s commitment to conduct approximately 10 similar operations in the coming weeks.
