The Vaudois petition against street dealing was submitted to the Grand Council on Tuesday. Equipped with 7,912 signatures, it was launched in mid-August when drug trafficking was exploding in several towns in the canton, particularly in Lausanne, Yverdon and Vevey.

(Keystone-ATS) This petition shows that “the situation is no longer tenable” and that “the population is fed up with it”, noted Marianne Dind, one of the instigators of the text, after handing over the initials to the president of the Grand Council , Jean-François Thuillard.
Questioned by Keystsone-ATS, she welcomed “the very good score” of this petition, launched by a small group of citizens, with reduced logistics and without the support of a party. It was signed by “Mr. and Madam everyone”, by people “from both the right and the left”, continued Marianne Dind, herself a member of the UDC.
Entitled “Street dealing, that’s enough!” Zero tolerance”, the text demands more firmness from the political authorities, accused of having allowed the situation to degenerate.
