Effective Drug Policies: "Proper Legislation is Essential, Yet We Require Practical Implementation," asserts Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol

Rewritten Article:

François Bayrou's government's drug trafficking bill is up for debate soon in the National Assembly. Yet, Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol, the Mayor of Rouen, voices concerns about the issue, stating, "Drug trafficking is eating away at our nation. It's a talk-show topic to create laws, but as a local official, I need practical solutions, resources – resources for customs, specialized police, funding for investigations, and a more robust organization." Rouen's strategic location between Le Havre and Paris makes it a hotspot for drug transit[1].

Socialist Party Congress: A Chance to Change

The upcoming election of the Socialist Party's leader in June will face off Olivier Faure, Boris Vallaud, and Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol. Mayer-Rossignol insists that no animosity lingers from the previous election. Sharing his vision for the party, he says, "I'm not content; overall, the left comprises less than 30% of the vote. We didn't win the presidency, and we're not even in the runoff. Do we settle for this, or do we push for change? We propose change."

Check out the full interview in the accompanying video.
