Announced very early on, local police and Lesse managed to prevent the holding of this illegal rally by roadblocks.
It was then that the organizers activated the plan “B”, a sort of strategic withdrawal. In their viewfinder, the site of the former Sugny military base where they started to flock around midnight.
The bourgmestre of Vresse, Arnaud Allard, would have arrived the first on the spot. “I tried to chat with the organizers by blocking access with my car. In vain. They got 25 around me, the situation was quite tense”he testified to our colleagues in Matélé.
The event must end Sunday at noon
The rave party is of a rare scale. According to our sources, this is a Teknival organization, a European electronic music festival organizer.
In Sugny, this Saturday morning, vehicles still arrived while others left the place. A crossover attributed to a very average on-site atmosphere. Not the hoped -for good trip. According to a French national leaving the scene, it was not “phew” (sic).
This event, obviously illegal since it has not been the subject of any request for authorization (which would have been refused anyway), mobilized dozens of police officers from the local coal coal, as well as other police officers called in reinforcement of the Lesse and Lhomme area (Rochefort) and Semois and Lesse (Bertrix).
This Saturday morning, local coal police were still present at the entrance and near the site.
The authorities admitted to helplessness in the face of this surge: “As you can easily imagine, we do not have sufficient means to evacuate several thousand people safely”could we still read on the press release released by the municipal authorities of Vresse.
During the night, in addition to the bourgmestre of Vresse, the FF corps chief of the local police went on the spot.
The administrative authorities, after negotiation, had no choice but to resolve to tolerate the event until Sunday noon. After this period, an evacuation could be envisaged. Understand: under duress, by reinforcement of federal police teams.
On its Facebook page, the bourgmestre promises to keep the population of the evolution of the situation informed
