Marseille – President Emmanuel Macron is to visit Marseille on Tuesday. In the wake of the murder of 20-year-old Mehdi Kessaci, brother of anti-drug activist Amine Kessaci, last month, Macron plans to make the fight against drug trafficking the focus.
Macron will address the issue of drug crime in Marseille at a debate organised by the daily newspaper La Provence, having spent the last few weeks touring the country to meet with readers of regional papers to discuss the issues concerning them – from social media regulation and disinformation to the cost of living crisis.
