Gabriel Attal will go Thursday to Viry-Châtillon, a town in Essonne recently marked by the death of Shemseddine, 15, beaten near his college, for a trip on the theme of “authority” on the occasion of his first hundred days at Matignon. “Authority must apply everywhere, for everyone,” government spokesperson Prisca Thevenot declared on Wednesday, announcing this move. The Prime Minister must “detail a very precise action plan on this issue which is expected of all, in continuity with our action since 2017”, she said.
A judicial component and a school component
Four young men, three minors and one adult, were indicted for murder after the death in early April of Shemseddine, beaten near his college for a dispute linked to the sister of two of them. They were all placed in pre-trial detention.
After the Council of Ministers on Wednesday morning, Gabriel Attal must bring together several members of the government in Matignon in the afternoon “on sovereign subjects”, according to his agenda. His trip to Viry-Châtillon, in the Paris suburbs, will include a judicial component and another on “the role of the school”, particularly with the question of boarding schools, we learned from a government source. It will be a “social shift”, specifies an advisor to the executive who adds that the Prime Minister will provide answers to adolescent unease whose ultimate expression is hyperviolence, fueled by new phenomena: Islamist entryism, harassment or even overexposure to screens.
Thursday evening, the Prime Minister will be interviewed at length on BFMTV, again to mark his 100 days at the head of government.
