It's a highly watched match, every time. This 9th day of Ligue 1 this Sunday is no exception: while OM welcomes PSG at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille, 600 police officers will be mobilized, the Bouches-du-Rhône police headquarters indicated this Friday. These 600 police officers will be mobilized to “inside and outside the stadium“, dont six mobile force units and specialized canine and equestrian units in particular.
This device aims to prevent “any risk of disturbing public order“, indicates the police headquarters which adds that “in addition, the organizer deploys a significant private security system mobilizing nearly 800 agents“. Of the air means “will also be deployed“.
This match under surveillance is taking place while this week the Minister of Sports Gil Avérous had recommended stopping the matches in the event of a problem (racism, homophobia, violence etc.) which could go as far as the match being lost for the home team in the event of homophobic songs. Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau then contradicted him, saying that it was not “the right solution”.
