    Thousands flock to illegal French rave despite explosives risk

    Over 20,000 revelers gathered for an illegal rave on a military site in central France despite the risks of unexploded ordnance nearby. The event organized on social media as the “Bourges Teknival” has been taking place on a military firing range which authorities have deemed “very dangerous.” Partygoers from across Europe began arriving Thursday at the vast site which has been used to test canons, missiles and shells. The head of the local prefecture, Philippe Le Moing Surzur, said over 2,000 cars had streamed onto the site for the event, which was classified as illegal early on Friday morning. After organizers failed to seek authorisation for the event, 600 police officers were deployed on Friday, issuing dozens of fines mainly for the possession of narcotics and driving offences.

    French interior minister promises crackdown on illegal rave parties

    France's interior minister vowed Sunday a crackdown on illegal raves as he flew over a giant party at a military site that defied warnings about the risk of possible explosions. The unauthorised rave known as a "free party" kicked off on Friday at a firing range near the central French town of Bourges. Organisers said that up to 40,000 people from France and neighbouring countries partied at the firing range, while Interior Minister Laurent Nunez put the turnout at 17,000. Officials said gathering at the military site was dangerous because of the risk of explosions from old ordnance dating back to World War II.
