On Thursday 5 November, the Rhône prefecture banned the conference of MP LFI Raphaël Arnault in Villeurbanne, Friday 6.

In a decree issued on Thursday, 5 November, the Prefect of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region banned the event "to prevent the risk of disturbances to public order." Extreme right-wing activists planned to protest against the conference.
"The aim of this measure is to prevent the risk of disturbances to public order," explains the Rhône Prefecture about the conference originally scheduled for Friday.
"The aim of this measure is to prevent the risk of disturbances to public order and in particular the clashes between radical groups claiming the use of violence", the prefecture justifies.
