Unbelievable Scene at the Police Station
Last Sunday, around 11:30 pm, a man in his thirties arrived at a Spanish police station (the Mossos d’Esquadra, for those keeping score) and requested to speak with an officer. He didn’t bother to explain the reason for his visit. Instead, staff directed him to the waiting room, presumably not expecting what would happen next.
And then—the twist no scriptwriter would dare to invent. As he sat waiting, the man allegedly pulled out a small bag containing cocaine (as reported by El Caso on Wednesday, October 8). Casually, he opened it, dipped his finger in, and helped himself for all to see. Subtlety clearly wasn’t part of his evening plans.
The on-duty Mossos officers quickly approached to ask for his ID. At this point, the man became agitated and things got a little messy. According to reporters, it actually took several minutes to restrain him—a scene more ridiculous than dramatic.
The Arrest and Aftermath
The story doesn’t end in the waiting room. After his rather public display, police searched his home and discovered over 20 grams of cocaine—impressive, but not in a good way. Curiously, they found no trace of his identity documents. He was arrested for possession and consumption of drugs, and then taken to the hospital for a medical check-up. Not quite the night out he had planned, one assumes.
From Crime to (Inevitable) Political Debate
Of course, this type of news never lives in a vacuum in France. In the comments, the conversation quickly spiraled from the man’s wild behavior straight into the deep end of political finger-pointing and party rivalries. If you thought the story was about cocaine, just wait until you read the reactions:
“Some say we should try a party that’s embezzled millions of euros and whose leaders have already been convicted for it in court? And Bardella, who allegedly faked a 2015 planner bought in 2018 to justify a fake job as MEP Jean-François Jalkh’s assistant—is he squeaky clean? Sure, we’ve never tried a party whose members could one day behave like Putin and divert billions…”
“I agree with you—but is it really relevant to post this kind of comment under a story about a guy snorting a line in a Spanish police station waiting room?”
“Come on, your left-wing leaders never embezzled money? Have you seen where your Macronist votes got us? You always trash the RN, and honestly, it’s tiring since the arguments never change no matter what happens. And you blame them for things your own politicians do too. As soon as Marine Le Pen got close to power and was leading in all the polls, suddenly, what a surprise—she gets put on trial for something they all do. Give me a break.”
“But honestly, who can we trust in politics? No one, not on the left, right, or even the centrists—we’ve tried them all for decades and nothing’s working. So, why not try someone new—like the RN (National Rally), Bardella? What have we got to lose? The RN now is nothing like the FN of the past, and maybe they’ll finally clean house in France. Retallau isn’t backing suspending the retirement age at 64 or giving people the right to die—no one’s voting for him. Edouard Philippe wants to raise retirement to 67? Please, forget it. Don’t even get me started on the Socialist Party that wants to fly Palestinian flags, or the Greens at 3% thinking they’ll save the world like the Communist Party at 3%, and the worst is LFI—which just wants to throw France into chaos all the time. So who do we pick? Well, the RN, and we’ll see what happens. Can’t go back to the same old faces; it only gets worse each time.”
The Internet Reacts: From Facepalm to Frustration
In classic French social media fashion, commenters weren’t content to stick to the facts—they immediately brought every longstanding political grudge to the surface.
- Some mocked the endless accusations against rival parties with a “pot calling the kettle black” vibe.
- Others lamented the state of politics, throwing up their hands at decades of disappointment—left, right, or center.
- And a few just pleaded, tongue-in-cheek, for people to please stay on topic. (Good luck with that!)
One thing is certain: whether it’s politicians or drug users in a police station, the French public embraces debate with as much passion as ever—and no one is ever, ever short on opinions.
