Rampant drug-fuelled violence in France is turning the country into what has been dubbed a ‘Mexicanized narco-state’ by a leading politician.
Narco wars are being fought across the country and have seen teenagers and children shot, stabbed and burned alive, gang kingpins broken out of custody, and cocaine washed up on beaches.
France’s new conservative interior minister recently declared war on the operating gangs after a 15-year-old boy was caught in the crossfires and killed in a massive brawl and gunfight in Poitiers, on November 1.
