When partying clashes with politics... France is looking to tighten its legislation around the unauthorised outdoor techno gatherings - known as "free parties".
Today, just a day after the country’s annual Fête de la Musique, the French National Assembly will start reviewing a new bill against disturbances to public order.
Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez says the “Ripost” bill should provide a “shock of authority” and bring “immediate responses to issues that disrupt public order, security and peace” for French citizens, a move welcomed by right-wing lawmakers.
