for Olivier Klein, interministerial delegate for the fight against racism, anti-Semitism and anti-LGBT hatred, the homophobic chants of PSG supporters are “unbearable”

Olivier Klein, interministerial delegate for the fight against racism, anti-Semitism and anti-LGBT hatred, “seized the prosecutor through article 40“following the homophobic chants heard on Sunday September 24 at the Parc des Princes.”We want there to be sanctions. (…) Paris Saint-Germain condemned these chants, which are clearly homophone and shocking, unbearable“, he introduces. How can we identify the participants, among the 10,000 supporters? “These songs came from a platform. There are cameras in the stadiums today.”recalls Olivier Klein, who deplores that the referee did not suspend the match.

“People do not have to choose one sport or another because of their sexual orientation”

The interministerial delegate considers that the chants are also degrading “for clubs” of football. Has PSG, according to him, taken stock of the problem? He welcomes the efforts of the clubs, and the “rules that evolve“.”I have spoken with people from Paris Saint-Germain since then, I know that they have worked on the attitude of supporters, on racist comments, also on homophobic comments“, says Olivier Klein, who reminds us that once a year, “a multi-colored armband” is worn by the team captain.

“In sports in general, people do not have to choose one sport or another because of their sexual orientation. They must feel welcome in all sports, in all federations“, finally decides the interministerial delegate.
