- The citizens of Vevey clearly reject the installation of surveillance cameras at the station.
- The Décourison-Alternative Party has mobilized strongly against these security measures.
- The municipality will have to rethink its strategy to combat insecurity.
“Vevey, city of images”, but no video surveillance images. However, At noon. For example, barely an hour after the polling station closed, Philippe Herminjard, president of municipal vote: vevey cuts wire the municipal council, displayed the result of a fairly clear vote: some 3008 no, a little more than 60%, against 1888 yes (38%), refused the measures proposed by the city To fight against deal and insecurity within the perimeter of the station. Similarly, With a participation rate of 36.4%, relatively comparable to other municipal elections.
The campaign And the vote were nevertheless “very emotional. Therefore, to the point that we really struggled to predict the outcome”, notes Cédric Bussy, president of the PS of Vevey, who counted among the supporters of a “global set of solutions” alongside, for once, right -wing parties. Meanwhile, Witness of this particularly sensitive character: there were also no less than 70 white bulletins, six draws and three empty envelopes.
Strength display
Seated in front of the town hall. municipal vote: vevey cuts wire For example, some partisans of the yes react by pointing the finger at the massive display and the flyers of the Décroissance-Alternatives (DA) party, which has grown strongly with slogans-chocs like “fueling of mouth” or “700,000 wasted, deal scattered”: “for a generally opposed formation to the public display, it is Strong, “we let go” out of microphone “, or out of cameras …
At the origin of the postulate adopted by the legislative in favor of a project of measures. Anna Iamartino (PLR) admits “very disappointed”, and even “worried”: “When I launched it, three years ago, it was good because there were fears, concerns of the population. But, given the campaign, no, I’m not surprised. All the attention was shot on the cameras. Exaggerated fears have been conveyed. We are not going to let go and continue to fight, because the problem persists and municipal vote: vevey cuts wire is not resolved. ”
A slap
“It’s a sacred slap,” admits the socialist Cédric Bussy. But it is democracy and we especially did well to put the question in vote. It was a set of ambitious, expensive measures too. Perhaps the importance of investment and the number of cameras have been scary. However, we will have to find another global solution. ” “We needed the population pronounced,” said his colleague from Party Johanne-Saskia Gay.
The municipality reacted by publishing a press release. “The population rejects the package of security and social measures”, title the document. According to the executive. “consequently, several measures arising from municipal skills cannot be carried out”, by evoking the modernization of public lighting, the strengthening of local social work and the creation of an observatory.
The trustee alongside municipal vote: vevey cuts wire the no
However, not all municipalities have the same interpretation of the vote. After having already broken collegiality during this campaign. the trustee, Yvan Luccarini, came to react, alone, by distancing himself in particular from the text, for which he says “not to have been invited” by the municipality.
The elected official of decay-alternatives presented itself alongside the NO Committee. And this, even if it is “not a member”, as he specifies. For him, the rejection of the cameras does not mean that the other eight measures cannot be put in place. The strengthening of social work could thus already take place through budgets 2026.
As for public lighting. the mandate could be launched “in the light of the development of the northern zone, in a wider perimeter than that of the municipal vote: vevey cuts wire station,” said Yvan Luccarini.
In contrast. Additionally, the municipality reaffirmed during this time “its desire to work closely with the canton of Vaud and its cantonal police, competent in the fight against drug trafficking”. As we can see. the subject is therefore not closed and may still cause a few political turmoil or disagreement both at the level of the executive and the legislative.
