Six gendarmes have been injured in clashes during the massive "rave" that began last Thursday
These days a legal process is under way in France which provides for the tightening of the law to prevent such clandestine holidays.
Six gendarmes have been injured in clashes with the last festivities of the massive Le Teknival rave in France. Local authorities have ended the clandestine party that began last Thursday, April 30, and in which some 20,000 people participated in a military camp near the town of Bourges, 230 kilometres south of Paris.
Authorities have reported in a statement that at 03:45 this Tuesday, party supporters attacked the gendarmes"using fireworks, petanca balls, Molotov cocktails and a battering vehicle."
According to the prefecture's version, the gendarmes responded with "containment measures" until the fighting ended at 04:30.
In addition to the six wounded gendarmes, 18 people have been arrested, nine of whom have been placed in police custody, and 15 civilian drones have been neutralized and 63 weapons seized.
Le Teknival has been one of the largest clandestine parties in France in recent years, and it has also been held in a military area where shells from the Second World War are still buried.
In view of thelegal process currently under way in France, which provides for the tightening of the law to prevent such clandestine festivities, the organizers of the festival have defended the fact that the event took place in a military area as a form of protest against this bill, which they consider repressive.
