Emmanuel Macron whistled during the final

In the 49th minute and 3 seconds, whistles sounded in the Stade de France (Seine-Saint-Denis) against the pension reform and against the President of the Republic, who appeared before kick-off in the corridors to discreetly greet the players. As expected, no appearance for Emmanuel Macron on the lawn, to try to avoid the image of a whistled, booed president. Because a few hours before kick-off, the inter-union of Seine-Saint-Denis began its distribution: 30,000 red cards and 10,000 whistles for the supporters, with a very precise instruction, whistle at 49 minutes and 3 seconds.

confiscated material

Some have let it be known that they would not hesitate. For others, this evening was to remain a sports meeting. According to the rules of the French football federation, whistles are prohibited in stadiums. The 1,400 security guards were instructed to confiscate them. Some stewards also picked up red cards. However, earlier in the afternoon, the unions won the right to distribute them. Unlike previous years, the cup was presented in the gallery by the Head of State.
