He added during a parliamentary session that he was "solely responsible" for the actions of the police during the crowding crisis around the stadium, which is located on the outskirts of Paris.

"We failed to manage the events of the European final," he said.

It was not only the violence suffered by English fans in particular, but also another important issue related to "false tickets", which caused the events.

The start of the match, which Real Madrid won 1-0, was postponed for more than 30 minutes after security personnel were forced to prevent people from entering the stadium, while riot police fired tear gas at fans, including women and children.
