Curfews no longer need to be in the Oise. The prefectural orders authorizing their extension during the deconfinement period in the towns of Creil, Nogent-sur-Oise and Compiègne were suspended this Saturday by the administrative court of Amiens. As of this Saturday evening, the inhabitants of these three communes will be able to circulate again as they wish, without time constraints.
This decision comes following the application for interim measures made by the League for Human Rights. The association's lawyer, Me Patrice Spinosi, specifies that the decision has "an immediate effect" and notes that the decision could set a precedent since "it is the first time that an administrative court has prohibited prefectural orders in the context of deconfinement. "
Immediate effect
For the Human Rights Association, the extension of these night traffic bans was an obstacle to the fundamental freedom of man to come and go freely. "The procedure was diverted," says the lawyer. These orders were made for security and public order reasons, not, first of all, for health reasons. We will see what the prefect does. He can appeal. "A hypothesis rejected in the afternoon by Louis Le Franc, prefect of the Oise, which indicates" take note of the decision of the administrative court, which will not be appealed ".
Since March 23, the date of the first decree, the municipal police of Compiègne has issued 84 reports. It was forbidden, unless there were compelling or professional reasons, to circulate there between 10:30 p.m. and 5 a.m. Philippe Marini, mayor (LR), "has no comments to make".
According to a close friend of the city, the decree requested by the mayors and validated by the prefect aimed "to enforce the sanitary measures imposed by the state of emergency". Reunions in the neighborhoods, gatherings by the river and student alcoholic evenings could be prevented. And this, “everywhere in town. "
Clashes with the police
This situation had nevertheless particularly irritated the young people of the Clos-des-Roses district who had repeatedly attacked the police with mortar fire. The latest episode, that of the night of April 30 to May 1, had gathered a hundred rioters in the streets at night.
In Nogent-sur-Oise, where travel was prohibited from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., a real pitched battle between young people and police in the Rochers district on the evening of May 7. "This decree allowed us to limit regroupings in places where the curfew was not always respected, sighs Jean-François Dardenne (LREM), mayor of Nogent-sur-Oise. Its suspension will give even more work to our municipal police to enforce barrier gestures. "
A new municipal decree in Creil
Little surprised by the decision of the administrative judge, Jean-Claude Villemain (PS), mayor of Creil had already taken Friday evening the decision to draft a new municipal decree, now restrictions on closing hours or bans on barbecues on the public highway, while excluding the concept of curfew. But the elected official does not fool against the suspension decided in Amiens. "The judges are sometimes disconnected from reality, not to use another expression, ruminates the mayor of Creil. The curfew was intended to fight against gatherings and thus prevent the spread of the virus. "
