Violence at the Stade de France: the Minister of the Interior will explain himself to the Senate

It is a highly anticipated hearing in the Senate, Wednesday June 1, during which Gérald Darmanin will have to explain himself following the violence at the Stade de France. Under pressure, the Minister of the Interior was reframed by Emmanuel Macron. During today’s Council of Ministers, Olivia Grégoire, the government spokesperson, said: “We have here above all a sequence, an accumulation of facts that we will have to very precisely take up, on which we will have to make all the transparency. The President of the Republic was very clear”.

Gerald Darmanin is criticized for his handling of the Champions League final on Saturday May 28. Communication is fluctuating: the number of counterfeit notes was announced at 30,000 to 40,000 by the French authorities at first. According to UEFA, only 2,800 fake tickets were scanned at the entrance to the Stade de France. “Lie as he did, it is very serious, because there is in his words neither neutrality, nor truth, nor probity“, says Marine Le Pen in The 4 Truths. Critics also come from abroad, in particular from the mayor of Liverpool (United Kingdom).
