Violent Clash Among Moroccan Minors in Paris Leaves One Seriously Injured

The young man, pursued by a veritable horde, got away with a head injury, without his life being in danger. The traces of blood on the quay testify to the violence of the confrontation, notes Le Parisien.

For 4 years, the Goutte-d’Or district (18th), has been the scene of fights and snatching, with the installation of dozens of isolated, polytoxic and violent Moroccan minors. No effective solution has been able to overcome this phenomenon, indicates the same source.

"It has become an unlivable place. Everyone is afraid, and the shopkeepers are on the front line," fumes a resident of the neighborhood. For François Dagnaud, the mayor (PS) of the 19th, "This is a completely exceptional phenomenon. They had never come here before. But I fully understand that the residents of Stalingrad, confronted with crack every day, are sensitive to this kind of event." The investigation has been entrusted to the 19th police station.

President Emmanuel Macron spoke last Thursday with King Mohammed VI on the subject, with the idea of building reception centers for these children directly in Morocco.
