Illegal Party at French Military Site Draws up to 40,000 Ravers
Police deployed 600 officers and 45 firefighters after bomb disposal experts found a shell at the illegal rave, officials said.
- Up to 40,000 people gathered Saturday for an illegal rave at a military firing range near Bourges, France, defying warnings about unexploded ordnance from the site's 150-year history.
- Philippe Le Moing Surzur, the local prefect, warned the site is "extremely dangerous due to the unexploded ordnance it may contain," with bomb disposal experts regularly discovering old artillery shells.
- Around 600 police and 45 firefighters monitored the gathering; authorities issued 32 tickets since Friday for narcotics possession, and emergency services treated 12 people for minor injuries.
- Tekno Anti Rep, a free party support network, frames the gathering as a "message against repression" challenging Horizons MP Laetitia Saint-Paul's proposed law imposing prison sentences and €30,000 fines.
- Cornusse mayor Edith Raquin described revellers as "peaceful people," with residents "delighted" to interact with them, contrasting with government efforts to criminalize rave spaces while designating French Touch as national heritage.
