near unstable stationary configurations of point-vortices. Those solutions are themselves
unstable, in the sense that their localization radius grows from order $\varepsilon $ to order
$\varepsilon^\beta $(with $\beta< 1$) in a time of order $|\ln\varepsilon| $. This proves in
particular that the logarithmic lower-bound obtained in previous papers (in particular [P.
