The riots in France following the Paris Saint-Germain victory
The night of the Paris Saint-Germain team's Champions League win ended on a sour note in France. While French President Emmanuel Macron initially congratulated the team and noted that "a new star is shining over Paris" and that the entire country is proud of the achievement, as reported on Hadashot 360, the reality on the ground changed quickly.
According to reports on Abu Ali Express, a channel known for its current affairs coverage in the fields of security and the Middle East, the victory celebrations deteriorated into widespread riots in Paris and other cities across France. As a result, President Macron issued a harsh condemnation of the scenes of violence.
As part of his statement, which was published extensively by both Abu Ali Express and Hadashot 360, Macron emphasized that "this is not football. This is not sport. This is not what we love."
The President clarified that the government will adopt a policy of "zero compromise" toward those responsible for the events and added a firm message: "We do not want to see this again. Enough is enough. It is over."
