The prefect of Bouches-du-Rhône, Georges-François Leclerc, came out of his media reserve this Sunday to explain his decision to postpone the Clasico between OM and PSG. Guest on RMC At first, he justified his choice by emphasizing the importance of public security in the face of thunderstorms and heavy rains that fell on Marseille. He then chained with a mini interview at Provence To detail his reasoning and respond to the criticisms aroused by this postponement, which has upset the plans of many supporters from all over France.
“Football is very important. Security is vital. Those who criticize this decision would probably have been the same as those who would have criticized me if I had not taken it if there had ever been incident. Finally, the LFP regulations are clear: when a match is canceled under these conditions, it is postponed by 24 hours. Pressures? As soon as it is security, I am relatively insensitive to pressures ”said Georges-François Leclerc, thus recalling that the protection of spectators takes precedence over any other consideration.
