Strict measures to control gatherings

In addition to the prohibition of ‘rave parties’, specific measures have been put in place to strengthen territorial control. The transport of sound equipment is strictly prohibited, and vehicles carrying equipment intended for these events are subject to traffic restrictions.

Serious consequences in case of non-compliance

To deter offenders, severe penalties have been provided. Any sound equipment seized during a control can be confiscated for a duration of six months, pending confiscation by the judicial court. These measures aim to deter any attempts to organize unauthorized festive gatherings.
