Not very effective, Retailleau’s threats.
This Saturday evening, while the Stéphanois were beating Strasbourg (2-0), homophobic chants were heard on several occasions during the meeting. The day after the match, the Rouge direct collective has logically stepped up to the plate to denounce these insults. « The match stoppage procedure was not applied », denounces the association in a press release broadcast on X, accompanied by a video of the chants addressed to the Lyonnais by Greens supporters.
« The LFP must explain to us why the match was not interrupted”
«We ask the Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau and the Minister of Sports Gil Avérous, as well as the Professional Football League to finally act. New complaints will be filed […] against the LFP and DAZN from Monday »continues the collective. A message that did not leave Othman Nasrou indifferentSecretary of State to the Minister of the Interior, responsible for citizenship and the fight against discrimination.
On his X account, the politician points the responsibility to the LFP: “With Bruno Retailleau and Gil Avérous, we told the football authorities our determination to put an end to homophobic chants. » He also points out that “the LFP must explain to us why the Saint-Étienne – Strasbourg match was not interrupted. »
Politics in all their glory.
