It is not exactly the first time since the start of the health crisis, but it seems that we do not agree exactly on everything between the government and the town hall of Paris. Wednesday, the day after the qualification of PSG for the final of the Champions League, the Minister of Sports Roxana Maracineanu announced wanting "perhaps to set up fan-zones, a specific framework" for this "exceptional event".
Idea moderately received by the town hall of Paris, therefore. "We are not for a fan zone, explains Anne Souyris, health assistant to Anne Hidalgo, at the microphone of Europe 1. Even if you put 1000 people, making sure that everyone has a mask, that everyone is distance, anyway it will create a call around, where people will stick around trying to get into the fan zone. "
The question of the street party
A priori, we therefore start with a no, unless common ground is found. In the meantime, Parisian supporters can always fall back on the Parc des Princes, where 5,000 people will be allowed to come and watch the match on a giant screen, within the limit of the authorized gauge. A device reserved for relatives of the club, subscribers and sick or disadvantaged children.
There remains the question of the festivities in the event of the PSG title, while the qualification for the final on Tuesday evening gave rise to some overflows, especially around the Champs-Elysées. Roxana Maracineanu called for the “responsibility” of fans. “Sport must remain a celebration but with responsibility. We have to adapt our way of celebrating, of celebrating, ”continued the Minister. Response once again from Anne Souyris: "It is totally irresponsible to make people believe that they can meet in the street, party, without there being serious consequences from a health point of view. . Yes, we have the right to party, but we must learn to party other than in a huge group of thousands of people in the streets, without masks, without barrier gestures. Otherwise, it is the giant cluster insured ”.
