Crack consumers have been living there since, in mid-May, the Prefecture of Police and the Town Hall agreed to group them together in the northern part of the Eole Gardens in order to relieve the neighboring district of Stalingrad.

But at the end of June, Anne Hidalgo had decided to put an end to this temporary situation by prohibiting crack users from accessing the park, so that the inhabitants can frequent it again.

“It had a perverse effect: they gathered outside”, recognized the city councilor, but “The fact of leaving a large open-air crack market in the total tolerance of the police authorities, it is not acceptable”, she added to the Prefect Didier Lallement. “I appeal to the Minister of the Interior” to adjust the “Security problem” in this district in the north of Paris, said the mayor, denouncing a “Absolutely unacceptable situation”.

Surrounded by the mayors (PS) of the 18e and 19e districts, a few assistants and municipal agents, Anne Hidalgo then went to meet a handful of residents and drug addicts, stopping just in front of the latter’s encampment.

“Crack, it dissociates you, it brings you lower than the ground”, said a young woman who has been staying for eight months in a hotel. “I spent four years in the street, sometimes walking barefoot, sometimes hitting for ten, five euros because I was completely addicted”, she said.

“In our region, there are a lot of people who have gone to the hospital; they came back “another woman told him, while Mr.me Hidalgo considers healthcare establishments as ” a track “ in the face of residents’ refusal to see treatment rooms set up near their homes.
