Question 9878 — public order

Summary

Mr. Gaël Le Bohec draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to the difficulties encountered in recording the number of participants in music festivals, more commonly called rave parties. Articles L. 211-5 to L. 211-8 of the internal security code, as well as the implementing decrees, establish at five hundred people the threshold from which rave party organizers must declare the demonstration in the prefecture. Once this threshold is reached, organizers are then subject to legal obligations in terms of access, communication and risk prevention. However, in reality, the declaration of the number of participants in these festivals is difficult to verify and is subject to doubt. This results, for the police, in difficulties regarding the controls they can exercise to establish the aspect licit or illicit of these rave parties. Indeed, the obligation to count the number of participants in a rave party places the police in a position of passive observation and prevents them from taking truly effective action both in terms of public safety and health and peace of mind for local residents. Also, he asks him if the Government plans to no longer impose a threshold - or at least to lower this threshold - beyond which “exclusively festive gatherings of a musical nature, organized by private persons, in places which are not previously set up for this purpose” within the meaning of article L. 211-5 of the internal security code must be declared to the prefecture.
