The group of Olympique de Marseille supporters does not tolerate the riots that have been taking place since Tuesday and the death of young Nahel in Nanterre.

” In a desire to appease and return to reason, we have decided to publish this press release to ask the young people of Marseille who find themselves carried away by this wave of gratuitous and totally useless violence to show wisdom and restraint and to immediately stop these acts of destruction of our City “, demanded the South Winners.
” By doing so, you are sullying the memory of this young teenager and further burdening his already so heavily affected family.added the group of supporters. But you are also dividing our city, which embodies a unique cosmopolitan pluralism that unites us all, from the private sphere to the Vélodrome stadium, which advocates respect for the Marseille family, its values and tolerance for everyone. Nothing can justify such violence. We therefore strongly condemn these acts of vandalism. »
“Let us once again be an example”
“ We hear your anger, but we implore you to contain it and channel it. (…) Let’s not give grain to grind to all the vultures of the extremes who are already rubbing their hands and rejoicing in this chaos and the media frenzy around these facts. (…) Everyone must be concerned and invested, parents, Tontons, older brothers or Marseille artists. Let’s once again be an example and a source of inspiration for the rest of France “, Concludes the press release applauded on social networks.
