81 people in attendance at the libertine party were given fines for breaking France’s 6 pm until 6 am curfew.
Last Friday police in the French commune of Collegien–which sits less than 30 kilometres east of Paris–busted up a sizable orgy due to its violation of the country s Covid-19 curfew. Authorities responded to the party around 9 pm, which is three hours after the curfew goes into effect. Note that said curfew restricts movement between 6 pm until 6 am. When police arrived at the scene, they found 11 people in the parking lot. Due to legalities they were not allowed entrance into the warehouse until 11 pm, but when they finally got inside they learned what they were dealing with.

French police raided an at-least-81-person orgy at a warehouse outside of Paris Friday and cited the participants for breaking the city’s coronavirus curfew.
Officers arrived on the scene at 9 p.m. after neighbors reported the party and were allowed to enter the warehouse in Collegien, about 20 miles east of Paris, around 11 p.m., hours after the country s 6 p.m. curfew, the Independent reported.
At least 81 orgy participants were fined 135 Euros, according to the outlet.
Three people who reportedly organized the party were also taken in for questioning.
Centrist European Parliament grouping Renew Europe on Wednesday voted to expel a Lithuanian MEP over homophobic remarks he made in a video on Facebook.
Viktor Uspaskich, a leader of the Baltic state’s populist Labour party, sparked outrage last week after footage of him calling gay or transvestite people “perverts” was published online.
The politician sent a letter to Renew leaders in the European Parliament after they demanded an explanation in which he apologised for causing an “uproar”.
But he said his comments had been taken out of context or lost in translation – and doubled down by insisting he still had the right to criticise people who “lead a perverted way of life”.

BUDAPEST/BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Hungarian politician Jozsef Szajer, who was conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s strongest voice in the European Parliament, resigned from his ruling party as more details emerged of how he fled a gay sex party in Brussels by clambering down a gutter.
The affair is an embarrassment to Orban, a right-wing nationalist whose Fidesz party espouses its view of traditional Christian and family values and has campaigned against the country’s LGBT community.
Orban told the Magyar Nemzet newspaper that Szajer’s actions were “indefensible”.
“He took the only appropriate decision when he apologised and resigned from his position as member of the European Parliament and left Fidesz,” Orban said.
