“ The nickname “Chicagre” – a contraction of Grenoble and Chicago – which the city has inherited in recent years is difficult to forget. writes Thomas Pueyo (Aujourd’hui en France 20/8/24) in a report on insecurity in Grenoble. For his part, the Public Prosecutor, Eric Vaillant, admits in the same newspaper “I haven’t seen that since I arrived in Grenoble” . However, before leaving, his predecessor, Jean-Yves Coquillat, had declared: “I have never seen a city so rotten and gangrenous.” In a few years, Eric Piolle will have established a delinquency which was marginal in the center and at all the nerve centers of the city, creating a new city, Chicago.

Jean Yves Coquillat and Eric Vaillant: Prosecutors follow one another and resemble each other
GRENOBLE MAKES HEADLINES FOR THE WRONG REASONS
Grenoble is once again in the headlines for the wrong reasons. The publicity given to the capital of the Alps erases all the promotional campaigns that the communities could undertake. They shoot, they threaten, they hit, they settle scores, no neighborhood is spared. The population that has to live with their backs to the walls, takes all possible precautions.
MOTHER AVOIDS TRAM STOP
A mother tells (Aujourd’hui en France 20/8/24) that with her little girl, she avoids a tram stop that she knows is close to a dangerous drug dealing point. In Mistral, elderly people explained to Alain Carignon that they ask their children to come and see them as little as possible.
“THE MOST INFLATED? THE FRIENDS DOWN THERE…”
In the same newspaper, Yves is revolted: “ What I found even more inflated was this poster for a play supported by the municipality called “Les copains d’en bas”. As if it should be normal, nice. No, it’s not. People are attacked in the stairwells where drugs are sold, they are afraid to go up to their homes.”
This campaign by the municipality to get the people of Grenoble to tolerate delinquency speaks volumes about its passive complicity with the gangrene that is invading everything.

THE MEDIA TAKES OVER GRENOBLE
France 2, the news channels, the daily press deal extensively with “Chicagre” despite the busy political news and the death of Alain Delon which occupies it. This is to say that this endemic insecurity is harming the city.
THE PROSECUTOR: NOTHING ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MUNICIPALITY
We understand the Prosecutor Eric Vaillant who details the means implemented to fight against trafficking, including through the Family Allowance Fund: the money earned illegally is reintroduced into the income allowing the suppression of the allowances. But, strangely, one major absentee is not called into question: the municipality. Which was also noted when the two protagonists were side by side in St Bruno. Nothing on the ultra-left center installed by the municipality on rue d’Alembert which causes so much damage in Grenoble with members who hide their identity. Nothing on the absence of operational PC, cameras, armed municipal police.
PIOLLE AND HIS AFFIDANTS TURN A EYES ON DEALERS AND MONEY
The citizen is not the big winner of the operation, who cannot understand who is responsible for what. Because the logical consequence of a conviction or a change in income level should be the expulsion of HLM as some municipalities do. However, Eric Piolle and his cronies (Klauss Habfsat, president of Grenoble-Habitat and Pierre Bejjaji, president of Actis) who preside over the HLM offices after him, continue to turn a blind eye.

This engineer was massacred on a Sunday afternoon on the edge of the Paul Mistral park, this Monday August 19 a 24 year old student who had taken the replacement bus of the B tram line (currently under construction) to return home to the university grounds was followed by a group of three or four strangers who beat him up and robbed him…
ANOTHER STUDENT WAS BEATEN UP ON MONDAY
For the student who was beaten up on Monday, August 19 while being followed to campus, this operational method has already been used by young people from the Rondeau camp created by the Grenoble municipality. Four students were victims of it, going as far as head trauma. The municipality has never responded to let us know if it had taken sanctions against those it welcomes, feeds and houses. Will the student leave Grenoble before the start of the school year like the other assaulted people spreading a detestable image of the city at home?
JOURNALIST J. WINTRAUB POINTS OUT PIOLLE’S APPEALS TO MIGRANTS
At each stage of the progression of insecurity, the responsibility of the municipality. When the senior reporter Judith Wintraub recalls the calls to migrants launched by Eric Piolle in Montgenèvre so that they cross the borders, she points out his demagogy. But it is the people of Grenoble who bear the consequences.
THE OPPOSITION WANTS TO APPEAL TO THE MUNICIPAL MAJORITY
Faced with this worsening situation, the opposition group (Alain Carignon, Brigitte Boer, Nathalie Béranger, Charah Bentaleb, Cherif Boutafa, Dominique Spini) should intervene today during a press conference to appeal to the municipal majority.
ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES CAN NO LONGER IGNORE THE RISKS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF GRENOBLE
With Eric Piolle on his way out and now embroiled in affairs that will poison the end of his term, the opposition hopes that members of the municipal majority will measure the extent of the disaster, the risks incurred by the people of Grenoble and the irreparable damage suffered by Grenoble.
It is difficult to see how all elected officials could continue to turn a blind eye and repeat language that no longer has any connection with reality. How can we not believe in a surge on the part of elected officials freeing themselves from the grip of a system whose results they see as so worrying?
