As drug-related violence intensifies, French cities like Nîmes are enforcing curfews for minors. The goal: to shield underage youth from recruitment by traffickers or stray gunfire.
The latest moves follow a string of shootings and a high-profile killing of a 19-year-old. But results have been mixed. In Limoges, the mayor said recent riots showed the curfew was "useless" without more police.
The French government has responded with a broader crackdown, including new jails and stronger legal tools to combat narco-violence.","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025072025/07/23/89282e734ff84cbd81c732d75deff7f5.jpg"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":[],"quotearticleid":0}
