Paris court overturns police ban, clears LFI concert for Fte de la musique
Paris court blocks Frances press ban at Eurosatory defence fair
A Paris court on Friday overturned a police ban and authorised a La France Insoumise (LFI) concert to close its “March against Racism and the Far Right” on Sunday during the Fête de la musique. The administrative tribunal ruled that the prefect of police had failed to demonstrate “sufficiently justified” risks of public disorder, noting that the artists cited in the original ban were not in fact scheduled to perform.
The decision, published on Friday morning, came after the prefect imposed the prohibition on Wednesday, citing unspecified threats of unrest. LFI had vowed to defy the ban and proceed with the event at Place de la République. The tribunal’s three-judge panel concluded that the prefect’s assessment rested on “risks… not sufficiently justified,” according to reporting by *Le Monde* and *Libération* .
The ruling clears the way for the final leg of LFI’s weekend mobilisation, which began with marches on Friday. Organisers had planned a headline set from local artists, none of whom were among those listed in the prefect’s interdiction order. *Mediapart* reported that the tribunal’s written decision emphasised the absence of the named performers as a decisive factor in its ruling .
The prefect’s office had not responded to requests for comment by late Friday. LFI’s parliamentary leader, Mathilde Panot, welcomed the decision, calling it “a victory for free assembly and against arbitrary power.” The party has framed the march as a response to what it describes as a surge in far-right activity ahead of next year’s presidential election.
Paris city hall, which had already authorised the broader Fête de la musique programme, said it would deploy additional municipal police to ensure the event’s smooth running. The concert is scheduled to begin at 19:00 on Sunday, coinciding with the national music festival that typically draws hundreds of thousands to the capital’s streets.
The case has highlighted tensions between the government’s public-order policy and judicial oversight, coming less than a week after the interior minister defended a controversial decree expanding prefects’ powers to restrict gatherings. Legal analysts note that the ruling may embolden opposition groups to challenge similar bans in future.
