The sound of the wild rave party which had been held since Thursday evening in Lieuron, south of Rennes , to celebrate New Year , was interrupted on Saturday morning and revelers were starting to leave the premises, we learned from the prefecture
of Ille-et-Vilaine . “There was no intervention by the police”, underlines the prefecture, while specifying that the gendarmes, who control the axes to reach the places where were on Thursday morning 2. 500 approximately people, carry out control and verbalization operations
The prefecture mentioned a “sound interruption” without ruling out the possibility of a resumption of the music. The Minister of the Interior Gerald Darmanin had convened Friday evening in Beauvau a meeting on this rave with the prefect and members of the cabinet. “I am working with them tonight to restore a normal situation by allowing the physical integrity of everyone as much as possible”, he wrote on his Twitter account.
Thursday evening, the gendarmes had tried in vain “to prevent this installation and faced the violent hostility of many chirkers, ”explained the prefecture of Ille-et-Vilaine on Friday. During these clashes “a gendarmerie vehicle was set on fire, three other degraded persons and the soldiers wiped bottles and stones, causing slight injuries”, according to the same source.
