Means commensurate with the event. As Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez revealed on Brut this Wednesday, a huge police force is planned as part of Saturday’s Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal. 22,000 police officers will be deployed throughout the national territory, including 8,000 in Paris.
“We have no fears, we have a robust, determined, calm system,” declared the minister. Previous festivities around PSG victories have often given rise to excesses, which have always been contained. The police will intervene on Saturday with great determination if they happen. “If there should be excesses, there will be interventions, let things be clear. There will be images where we see the police forces in action against people who, at that moment, become delinquents. The party has to be beautiful, but if there are excesses, there will be answers.” As for a possible victory parade the next day, it will take place in Paris, but the Champs-Élysées are not planned for this purpose.
