For several months, this double phenomenon has taken on a whole new scale and has raised many concerns in these cities who believe that the facts are now “out of control”.

We are appealing to the canton to take responsibility and help us manage this crisis.” In the North of Vaud, a crisis unit was launched this summer to limit the inconvenience that drug addicts can cause to the population. “We are experiencing serious problems with the sharing of public space,” continues the councilor. Crack causes certain harmful behaviors that we didn’t know about in the past. Before, consumption remained hidden. Today, it sometimes happens in broad daylight, ten meters from a play area.”
