A police control that makes the tenant of Place Beauvau react. Rebel MP Andry Kerbrat was caught for drug possession on October 17. In a press release, the elected representative of Loire-Atlantique announces that he has “started a treatment protocol” and is “at the disposal of justice.”
“While drug trafficking is taking hold in France with its procession of violence, it is not tolerable to see a deputy of the Republic buying synthetic drugs from a street dealer,” scolds Bruno Retailleau on X (formerly Twitter).
“Deal with the consequences”
“A deputy has the duty to set an example. Mr. Andy Kerbrat must draw the consequences of his actions,” judges the Minister of the Interior, who has declared in recent weeks that he wants to “wage war” on “narcoterrorism.”
In recent weeks, several news items directly related to drug trafficking have marked the news, from the death of a VTC driver murdered in cold blood by a hitman with a shot to the back of the head in Marseille to the fire in front of a Cavaillon. police station, after the arrest of several traffickers.
According to information from Current values The person who revealed the matter, Andy Kerbrat, was in possession of 1.35 grams of 3-MMC, a synthetic drug on the rise in France, often used in the context of chem sex, which combines the consumption of narcotics and sexual relations.
“Continue leading the fight” against addictions
“Given personal problems and psychological frailties, I was able to consume synthetic drugs,” says the parliamentarian in a text published on social networks.
“Beyond me, addiction is a public health problem and deserves to be treated as such. I have been fighting this fight with other victims for a long time and must be treated as such. I have been fighting this fight for a long time. “Andy Kerbrat writes that he will continue to direct it.”
Therefore, the hypothesis of a resignation does not seem to be on the table. Several left-wing personalities, such as Sandrine Rousseau, have also given their support to the 34-year-old parliamentarian.
“You recognized it, you are on a journey of attention”
“Drug use and addiction are a matter of care, mental health and support. You have recognized it, you are on your way to receiving treatment. Please return to us in good shape,” wrote the deputy for Paris.
The same story for the elected rebel Sophia Chikirou, who believes that “in this brutal world, she can count on our support.” “Addictions are a social and health scourge, not a defect,” writes this very close friend of Jean-Luc Mélenchon in X.
“An insult to the people of Nantes”
The councilor of Nantes and local delegate of the Horizons party, Guillaume Richard, believes, on the contrary, that Andy Kerbrat should resign from his duties. “Presenting yourself as a ‘victim of your addiction’ is an insult to the people of Nantes,” who elected the deputy last July, he believes.
The deputy of the National Rally, Laurent Jacobelli, is ironic and asks why the deputy “did not get supplies from his colleague Louis Boyard”, referring to the fact that the latter had admitted in 2021 to having sold cannabis when he was younger to finance his studies.
3-MMC is booming in France, especially in partisan circles, and is taken like cocaine at half the price. According the French Observatory of Drugs and Addictive TendenciesThis molecule comes mainly in the form of a powder whose properties are similar to those of amphetamines.
