France Announces New Anti-Drug Measures After Activist's Brother Killed
French President Emmanuel Macron has ordered new actions to combat drug crime. This follows the murder of a prominent anti-narcotics activist's brother in Marseille last week. The city, France's second largest, is facing a surge in drug-related violence. Since January, more than a dozen people have died in turf wars and disputes connected to cocaine and cannabis dealing. President Macron announced the urgent measures on Tuesday. The government's plan aims to disrupt trafficking networks and increase security in affected neighborhoods.
