Cerveny Ujezd, North Bohemia, Aug 1 (CTK) – Several thousand people, mainly foreigners, have arrived in a former refugee camp in Cerveny Ujezd to attend a huge rave that was announced to authorities as a private event for a mere 400 people, the local villages’ mayors told CTK Saturday.
The participants have blocked all access roads and the noise level in the locality is extremely high.
They do not respect private property either and they are camping everywhere if the plot is not fenced, Jitka Nova, the mayor of Merunice, where the former refugee camp is situated, told CTK.
The police, who are only monitoring the situation so far, have estimated the number of people at the site at 4000.
However, Jana Syslova, mayor of nearby Hrobcice, has put it at 10,000.
“The organisers have announced only a private party for 400 people on a leased area. They have not asked for a permission to stage such a mass event,” Nova said.
The organisers said the rave would last from Saturday until Monday and that they had leased the plot from a private owner.
Nova said it might not be possible to ban the event.
Mostly foreigners from various European countries are at the site.
“I have been questioning them and [they said] it should be some European party that is staged once a year, always at a different place,” Nova said.
She has counted ten loudspeaker systems that are all playing at once.
“The noise is disastrous,” she said, adding that so is the traffic situation.
“All access roads and paths in a two-kilometre radius around the place are jammed, including forest paths,” Syslova said, explaining that the only access road to Cerveny Ujezd is through Hrobcice.
