Drug trafficking in France: when the dealers help residents of poor neighborhoods in place of the authorities


In France, cocaine has drawn a road to the slightest rural village on the borders of Polynesia in the Pacific Ocean. In his introduction for a report on drug trafficking, the French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau spoke of a “white tsunami”. Among the strategies of dealers: the development of population aid in the districts ravaged by poverty.



In a pamphlet published in 2020 and entitled Municipal. Shall, the writer Didier Daeninckx was attacked the strange relations between the political world and that of the dealers. In the Parisian outskirts, a kind of parallel society replaced associations, and charitable activities, formerly controlled by the Communist Party today dying. The famous author of Polar, revealed that to work quietly, in the HLM buildings, in Aubervilliers, near Paris, the traffickers had distributed ticket envelopes to pay the rents. There are many examples, including in rural areas.

In the Escaunte district, in Bagnols-sur-Cèze, a small town in the Gard, the traffickers recently sent a letter offering various services (races, DIY, school supplies, etc.) in return for the inconveniences caused by the deal. In this perfectly written letter and without spelling mistakes, they invited the population to report themselves: “If you need help, whatever it is financial or for any other difficulty. We hope that these actions will create a serene and united climate. »»





Win hearts in the impoverished neighborhoods

In Cavaillon, in Vaucluse on July 14 for national holiday, the dealers had set up an inflatable castle for children, a swimming pool, a duck fishing game and a barbecue in a disadvantaged area. Objective: win hearts in these impoverished districts, and gradually deserted by public services.

Thus, little by little, the inhabitants who once mobilized against the points of deals, become by necessity of the allies of traffic. This strategy has already been used in South America, by Pablo Escobar, the most famous of narcotrafiaries of the 1980s. It was popular for having built schools, hospitals, churches … Its program was baptized “Medellín without slums”. He even managed to be elected deputy to the Colombian Parliament in 1982. Before being killed during an assault on the police in December 93.

Until Polynesia

Also in France the police are mobilized against white tsunami, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. On August 2, during the excavation of a sailboat in the Marquesas Islands, customs got their hands on two tonnes of drugs. A seizure which confirms that between the American continent and Australia, French Polynesia represents a new route for cocaine, whose world production reached 4000 tonnes in 2024. The task is immense and this charming offensive for disadvantaged populations is a formidable weapon which, if we take care, could transform our democracies into Narco-Craties.
