“in some neighbourhoods” a 24 hours a day army presence with the function of a “peace-keeping force … so as to stop the tit-for-tat fights and avoid the risk of stray bullets and tragedies.”He received the immediate support of Ségolène Royal, the defeated candidate of the big-business Socialist Party in the 2007 presidential elections, won by the incumbent conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy. She declared last Sunday on radio France Inter: “The mayor is asking for the intervention of the army
