Horizons (political group)

Horizons is a political group within the French National Assembly. They are currently newsworthy due to their proposed law aimed at increasing penalties for organizers of unauthorized free parties (free parties). This proposal, adopted in committee last week, is scheduled for debate in the Assembly on April 9th. The proposed legislation includes penalties of up to six months imprisonment and a 5,000 euro fine for organizers. This initiative has drawn criticism from a collective of actors within the techno music scene, who argue that the law would unduly criminalize these events. The debate surrounding the Horizons group's proposal highlights the ongoing tension between law enforcement and the free party culture in France, making their actions relevant to discussions about freedom of assembly and cultural expression.
