The schoolboy joke obviously did not please everyone.
Five people, "members of the Kohlanness group", according to several sources, this parody version of "Koh-Lanta", born in 2020 in the heart of the city of Groux in Fresnes, in Val-de-Marne, were arrested in a polling station in the town, Sunday afternoon.
These five thieves – “including three with their faces hidden behind a mask of Emmanuel Macron, Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon and wearing tricolor scarves”, we learned from concordant sources – burst into an office voting in the second round of the presidential election.
To immortalize the action, a fourth was filming while the last was wearing a security armband.

“Obviously, they committed acts of disruption within the polling station”, specifies a person close to the case, in the midst of assessors and dumbfounded citizens.
This allegedly humorous operation ended with a police intervention.
The five suspects were arrested and taken into custody by the national police.
They face up to two years in prison.
This funny test, non-existent in the real game, could have legal consequences, since an investigation for disturbances of the electoral operations by crowd, clamor and threat would have been opened.
This offense is punishable by a prison sentence of two years, a fine of 15,000 euros and a privatization of voting rights and a maximum of five years for eligibility.
The Kohlanness group had made a name for itself for two years on social networks by resuming events from the famous television show such as the pole test with, in addition, tear gas, challenge of insects to eat, medieval jousting in the middle of the city.
Lately, the small team has been traveling all over France, depending on invitations such as Marseille or Courchevel.
Since the arrests, one of the leaders of this group remains unreachable and no image has apparently appeared on social networks.
The mayor (PS) of the town, Marie Chavanon, could not be reached by telephone on Sunday evening.
