Last Saturday, the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Strasbourg (4-2) was marked by homophobic chants against the Phocaeans, a few days before the clash between Marseillais and Parisians. Sanctions are also expected against the Parisian club. These remarks caught the attention of Bruno Retailleau, Minister of the Interior. Passing by France Interthis Thursday morning, the 63-year-old man announced that two people had been identified among the Parisian supporters.
“ Two of the leaders who launched homophobic chants have been identified. They must be severely punished. We can no longer stand these songs, these racist invectives », indicated Retailleau, who is in favor of the “ stoppage of matches » in case of homophobic chants. “ We must no longer use judicial stadium bans and administrative bans. (…) These are not the values of sport. Each time it mobilizes hundreds of gendarmes or police officers “. In parallel with these events that occurred during PSG-Strasbourg, clashes took place between supporters during Montpellier-Marseille, the next day. A meeting is planned between the leaders of Ligue 1 clubs and the Minister of the Interior for this Thursday.
