Julien Odoul wants to relocate the match to Corsica, “where there is no anti-Semitism”

RN deputy Julien Odoul wants to relocate the France-Israel match, scheduled for November 14 at the Stade de France, to Corsica. According to the elected official, “there is no anti-Semitism” on the “Island of the Righteous”, while threats weigh on the security of the Blues meeting.

In Corsica, Julien Odoul assures us, “there is a total rejection of anti-Semitism, which we no longer see on the continent”.
