A match of the French football team in Corsica on November 14 is what RN deputy Julien Odoul is proposing.
Indeed, security questions have been raised for several weeks around the organization of the League of Nations match between France and Israel at the Stade de France, due to the war waged by Israel against Palestine following the Hamas attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023.
As a solution, the RN deputy for Yonne proposes to organize this match in Corsica, in Ajaccio or Bastia. According to him, “Corsica offers optimal security conditions and would make it possible to maintain a full number of spectators. As such, sports infrastructures, such as the Michel-Moretti or Ange-Casanova stadiums in Ajaccio, or the Armand-Cesari stadium in Bastia, are perfectly suited to hosting this confrontation considered high risk.
Then, this choice would take on historical and memorial symbolism. More precisely, under the Occupation, while the Vichy regime engaged in mass arrests and deportations of Jewish populations, Corsica, nicknamed the Island of the Righteous as a result, distinguished itself by stubbornly refusing to hand over its citizens. of Jewish faith.
Finally, no official match for the French team has ever taken place in Corsica. It would therefore be an unprecedented opportunity to promote the Corsican Community which would welcome the Blues for the first time.”
