“Let things be clear, Lyon 1950 condemns without any reservation the actions and/or comments made by certain people and which undermine everything that our group implements internally to prevent this type of excess, it is written. We know that the OL is carrying out necessary work to identify the authors. If it turns out that some of these are excluded from our group, let them know that we will never again welcome them into our ranks. We have indicated it internally, we have clarified it in our general assemblies and we firmly repeat it here: no form of politics has its place within our group,” writes the group of supporters. »
