The press echoed the dismay and the departure of certain traders from the Grottes district due to the nuisance linked to the presence of drug and alcohol users. The City of Geneva also expressed its annoyance and asked the Canton to accelerate the implementation of this plan. Following a question from Center deputy Jean-Marc Guinchard, the government took stock of the progress of the measures.

Although most of them have been implemented, the premises dedicated to crack users have not yet seen the light of day. “A year ago, parliament released 2 million francs for this premises. The very cold period is here and there is still nothing. Inadmissible,” he protested to the Temps. The premises are requested by the Première ligne association, which since the summer of 2023 has no longer allowed crack users to take the substance on their premises, after several episodes of violence and tensions with employees of the structure and other users. . For Time, Thomas Herquel, director of the association managing Pier 9, takes stock of the situation.
