On Thursday, police were unable to prevent a prohibited event staged at two warehouses in the Lieron district, opposite the Brittany city of Reno.
These mass gatherings are strictly prohibited throughout France to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In addition, in the territory of the country from 8 pm the curfew is valid, which was not canceled on New Year’s Eve.
As reported by the local prefecture on Saturday, the music stopped after two nights, and the first participants of the party began to take a walk on Saturday at dawn.
“The security forces did not intervene,” the local authority said in a statement, saying the police had still screened everyone leaving the warehouses.
The prefectural report says that at 10 pm 15 minutes. At local time (11:15 am Lithuania), the territory was fully controlled by the police, who issued protocols to more than 800 people for not respecting the curfew and the requirement to wear masks, as well as for “participating in a meeting illegal”.
Previously, the prefecture reported, based on data from the association assessing the risk of such events, that only “several hundred” rave participants remained at the complex.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin wrote on Twitter that large police forces “eluded the participants” without resorting to violence.
The parking lot at the party site was half empty on Saturday morning, an AFP photographer reported.
Police tried Thursday night “to avoid the event, but faced fierce hostility from many partygoers,” the prefecture said Friday. The authorities added that the policemen were thrown in bottles and stones and one of their cars was set on fire.
The participants are reported to come from other regions of France and even from foreign countries.
