Guest on the airwaves of France Info this Sunday noon, Pierre Rabadan, deputy mayor of Paris in charge of Sports, insists on the need to continue discussions with PSG on the subject of the Parc des Princes: “The dialogue must resume. It was not Anne Hidalgo who decided not to sell. No one voted for the sale. We must meet, time has passed, we must change our attitude, no one must be taken hostage. The club has a contract with the Parc until 2043. We want the same thing as the supporters, we want PSG to stay at the Parc des Princes. This is where the club was created, grew, made its history”said the elected official, at a time when tensions reached their peak between the club and the city.
Present at the Porte de La Chapelle for the inauguration of the Adidas Arena of Paris Basket, Emmanuel Grégoire gave it another layer by promising that the dialogue will never stop with PSG, the day after the banners against Anne Hidalgo and hostile songs: “What we want is to no longer interact with PSG through the press. The rest is in-between and I don’t want to comment through the press. PSG will never leave the Parc des Princes », declared the first deputy of the Paris City Hall. The standoff is therefore far, very far from being over between Parisian elected officials and Qatari leaders.
