Between repression and travel ban, conflicts have persisted for several years between public authorities and groups of supporters. But the government finally makes the right decisions.

>> Faced with the lack of dialogue between public authorities and supporters' groups, the government has taken matters into its own hands and is playing the role of calm and appeasement. A first step after long months under the sign of repression and travel bans.

"Until then, everything has been done upside down, sanctions are all right, and no dialogue.There have already been 47 games with travel restrictions for fans since the beginning of the season. We have the deleterious atmosphere that goes with this repression.When a prefectural decree forbids fans altogether from moving around a whole department, there is something wrong, the government realized and changed the situation. method With proposals made at the beginning of the week at the meeting of the National Instance of Supportism Recognize his mistakes and try to turn the bar, it deserves to be highlighted, huh, it is not so common.

On the one hand, bellicose statements by the authorities, and on the other, in the stands, banners of bad taste at best, and outright insulting at worst. Stop! We clear it all and start again. We will make an inventory of discriminations in the stadiums. Because we still see a lot of things we should not see anymore. Results are expected in February. So we do the work upstream, we see what the problem is, and then we try to find solutions. Wow! It will necessarily be more effective than shouting everyone in his corner. It is miraculous sometimes the dialogue. Like to recognize his mistakes. It took a long time, but it's going in the right direction, we also say when we see improvements. Now we are not going to get excited, we have to see in practice ... "
