Cité Mixta : les résidents dénoncent l’insécurité et rejettent toute stigmatisation collective
Tensions are rising within the "Cité Mixta" residence. In a press release, the group of owners and residents is raising the alarm about a security situation deemed alarming, while denouncing the conflation of issues and the "collective defamation" of which they believe they are victims.
Residents say they have not lived in a "haven of peace" for several years. They cite a surge in illegal activities: drug trafficking, pimping, theft, and assaults, sometimes in broad daylight. According to them, these problems profoundly affect their daily lives, creating a widespread sense of fear, despair, and anger. Faced with this situation, residents say they feel abandoned by the public authorities, despite numerous appeals to the state.
"Stop the conflation"
While residents acknowledge the seriousness of some recently revealed incidents, particularly crimes involving minors and criminal networks, they insist on one point: these acts should in no way define an entire community. The group denounces a tendency to generalize and transform targeted legal cases into a "public trial" against the entire Cité Mixta neighborhood. This approach is considered dangerous because, according to them, it contributes to tarnishing the reputation of thousands of honest people: teachers, shopkeepers, civil servants, entrepreneurs, and families. "Since when is a neighborhood responsible for the actions of a few individuals?" they ask.
A critique of the media and social networks
The statement also criticizes certain media reports deemed sensationalist, as well as the frenzy on social media. Residents describe a "digital witch hunt" where rumors and accusations circulate without evidence, exposing innocent people. They regret the lack of in-depth analysis, particularly regarding the root causes of the phenomenon: shortcomings in prevention mechanisms, the role of social media, and the proliferation of furnished apartments used as a backdrop for illegal activities.
Urgent measures requested
Beyond simply stating the facts, the group makes several concrete recommendations to the authorities: Deployment of a local police station, Implementation of surveillance systems in partnership with the ASP, Installation of cameras in the main thoroughfares of the city, Census and closure of illegal furnished apartments, Strict regulation of furnished tourist and seasonal rentals.
Residents are calling for swift and coordinated action, from the municipality to the state, to restore safety. They also insist on the responsible handling of information. "Inform, yes. Denounce, yes. But without distorting, without generalizing, without smearing," they plead.
In conclusion, the collective reiterates that the Cité Mixta remains above all "a human mosaic" and refuses to allow its dignity to be tarnished by the actions of a minority.
