Boudry - Difficult Cohabitation (Daily Life 2025, by Dom Smaz) - Swiss Press Award

Gilles de Reynier, président de commune, nous montre la proximité du centre d'hébergement fédéral pour requérants d'asile avec Boudry. Une partie de la population de Boudry subit des problèmes de harcelement, vols et cambriolages commis très souvent par de jeunes hommes requérants d'asile venant de l'ancien hôpital psychiatrique de Perreux réaménagé en centre d'hébergement fédéral pour requérants d'asile, qui se trouve être juste à côté de la petite ville. Boudry, Suisse, le 13 mars 2024.

Part of Boudry's population is experiencing harassment, theft, and burglaries, often committed by young male asylum seekers from the former Perreux psychiatric hospital, which has been converted into a federal accommodation center for asylum seekers, and which happens to be right next to the small town.
