«This evening again, during the Montpellier/Marseille match, unjustifiable violence tarnished the image of football. Homophobic chants, clashes between supporters’ clubs, attacks by the police, we can no longer stand the fact that every week, sport is the scene of intolerable acts. For my part, I will not tolerate it. This week, in conjunction with the Minister of Sports and Othman Nasrou, Secretary of State in charge of the fight against discrimination, I will bring together French football authorities to take the necessary measures to restore order in the stadiums and in margin of meetings», announced the Minister of the Interior this Sunday evening on the social network X.
