Small tackle in front.

During the municipal council last Friday, the city of Lille unanimously voted for a declaration aimed at formalizing all the evil that elected officials thought of the organization of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

But concretely, what will it change?

Friday evening, the controversy over the World Cup in Qatar was invited to the municipal council of Lille without making any controversy, everyone agreeing to qualify this event as "nonsense", both ecologically and in terms of " human rights ".

Neither fan zone nor giant screen

And this beautiful unanimity was finally born of a simple oral question raised by the Greens to denounce the various aberrations of this World Cup: air-conditioned stadiums, aerial shuttles, working conditions for workers... A question which turned into a declaration and promise that the city would not broadcast “any match on a giant screen”, assumes Martine Aubry.

Other cities, including Strasbourg, have already taken steps in this direction.

No fan zone, therefore, nor festive gathering organized by the city.

To communicate around the France team, you will have to stay at home or retreat to the bars which have decided not to boycott the event.
