The reactions are strong after the words of PSG coach Christophe Galtier on the travel of his team in private jets. “The subject is not there”, according to the mayor National Rally of Perpignan.
“PSG is a private company that manages its funds as it sees fit“, said Tuesday September 6 on franceinfo the mayor National Rally of Perpignan and candidate for the presidency of his party Louis Aliot. He reacted to the controversy over the use of a private jet by Paris Saint-Germain to get to Nantes.

Louis Aliot also mentions “another world“in which live these”stars who earn tens of millions” euros.

When Prime Minister Jean Castex went to vote by plane in the first round of the presidential election, it was also an example to give“, he ironically in turn.
