Ah what we are tight at the bottom of this studio.

Monday afternoon, near Lille, several people were fined and another arrested for a new clandestine party organized in the midst of the coronavirus epidemic.

Small originality this time, the places were particularly small.

The facts happened around 4:30 pm, Monday, and yet it was indeed for the noise that the residents of the rue Verte, in Croix, contacted the "17".

A noise from all the devils, noted by the police when they went there.

On top of each other for a festive snack

In this apartment building, the officials got in touch with the tenant of the apartment where the party was taking place.

It was a young man of 19, a student of a large private school in the metropolis.

With him, were no less than 35 comrades participating in this festive tea party.

Besides the fact that such parties are strongly discouraged in these times of the coronavirus epidemic, another point made the police wince: the size of the studio.

According to the Departmental Directorate of Public Security (DDSP), the area of ​​the apartment in question did not exceed 20 m2, or about half a square meter per person.

When we know that the new rules applied in shops since this weekend have increased the surface area per customer from 4 to 8 m2.

Admittedly, no one broke the curfew, which did not prevent the police from verbalizing all these little people for a reason that was not specified, however.

The tenant of the apartment was arrested and taken into police custody for "endangering the lives of others".

Knowing that the Lille public prosecutor's office is based in particular on the surface criterion to determine the sanctions to be taken against the organizers of clandestine parties, the young man may not get away with it.
