PS deputy Arthur Delaporte also spoke on the social network to rejoice at a “new defeat of state representatives who use anti-terrorism laws to contain social mobilizations”.
Friday, the police headquarters had banned the union rally planned for the final of the Coupe de France while Emmanuel Macron will attend the final.
“No risk” for the safety of spectators
The prefect of police of Paris, Laurent Nuñez, had taken this decree in particular because of the “huge flow of spectators” with 78,000 people expected at the stadium, he explained on RMC this Saturday.
The police headquarters had also stated in a communiqué published on Friday that the “use of whistles during the match would not fail to lead to the interruption of the match” due to the “disruption of the refereeing”, leading to a risk of “collisions in the stands or even invasion of the lawn”.
Several members of the left had denounced this ban. This afternoon, the inter-union finally announced that the decree was suspended. She had seized the administrative court, which considered that the prefect of police had not demonstrated that the “gathering subject of the dispute would present a particular risk with regard to the safety of spectators going to the match and users of the public highway ” , according to the decision consulted by BFMTV.
