After several death threats and numerous insults since the start of his mandate, the deputy mayor of Les Mureaux Boris Venon has decided to resign.

A lack of security and civility also felt by some residents, met by Europe 1.

"Le Blanc, leave my town!"

It is this kind of invective that pushed Boris Venon, elected socialist of Yvelines, to resign.

Since the start of his term, the deputy mayor of Les Mureaux says he has suffered eleven racist and homophobic attacks.

The proof, according to him, of the disintegration of the social bond in his city and an increase in insecurity.

In the shopping avenue of Mureaux, when we talk about the resignation of Boris Venon, several inhabitants, like Huguette and Fred, admit to recognizing themselves in the words of the deputy.

"It has changed, there is less civility," notes Huguette.

Residents disillusioned by insecurity

"It's not a passion to come here. No one says to themselves 'later I would like to live in Les Mureaux'. We live there because we have to work", saddens Fred.

Alice, 68, also draws a gloomy conclusion.

The retiree has lived in Les Mureaux since she was very young.

She no longer feels as comfortable in her city as before.
