A grenade attack in a Grenoble bar has reignited debates over security in the city.

The incident, which injured 15 people, is being investigated as part of organized crime, with no terrorist links.

The attacker, armed with a Kalashnikov, remains at large.

Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau called the attack "unprecedented" and vowed to find the perpetrator.

Mayor Éric Piolle, criticized for his security policies, dismissed accusations of laxity, blaming national authorities for insufficient police resources.

Piolle opposes arming municipal police, arguing it’s the state’s role to combat organized crime.

The attack has intensified calls for stronger measures to address rising violence linked to drug trafficking.
