Have the city of Lyon and the State failed in their missions which consist in protecting the population?
Have the means deployed to fight against downtown rodeos been up to the task?
And effective enough to maintain public tranquility?
It is now up to the Lyon Administrative Court to answer these questions.
500 local residents united in two groups of local residents, "Angry Lyon" and "Angry Peninsula" have attacked the mayor of Lyon and the prefect of the Rhône in court two years ago.
A hearing has been set for Wednesday, November 10 before the administrative court, we learn from their lawyer, Edouard Raffin.

"State bankruptcy"
"We maintain that these police authorities are at fault because they failed in their obligations by delaying taking measures and / or by not taking all the necessary measures likely to seriously prevent the nuisances of urban rodeos on the peninsula and disturbances to insecurity and public tranquility in several other districts of Lyon and Villeurbanne ", indicates the lawyer in a press release, thus pointing to" the lack of police crews available "to patrol or control the troublemakers.
Referring more generally to a "state bankruptcy", the lawyer had initiated two proceedings in 2019. The first against the town hall of Lyon and the second against the prefect of the Rhône.
The court decided to join the two at the same hearing.
"This hearing will testify to the explosive state of the 500 applicants worn out by these disturbances which have become too frequent", supports Edouard Raffin.
