French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez vowed on Sunday to crack down on illegal raves as he visited the area in central France where a massive free party was held on a military base despite authorities' warnings about the risk of unexploded mortars. Organisers said they chose Nunez's hometown of Bourges to protest against a proposed bill increasing penalties for unregistered raves.
