In a statement, Pascal Lelarge, the prefect, mentioned the “recurrent and violent overflows that tainted the recent demonstrations of yellow vests in the department” as the reason for the ban on demonstrations in the centre of Quimper. In this context the police (police and gendarmerie) will be mobilised throughout the department to maintain order.
In addition, the transportation of materials likely to be used as projectiles and the consumption of alcohol will be prohibited in the city center.
