There were 3,800 of them on Wednesday evening in Dortmund to push PSG towards the round of 16 of the Champions League. But for now, no Parisian supporter is authorized to go to the North on Sunday evening to support Kylian Mbappé and his partners on the Lille pitch. A travel ban, decided by the Ministry of the Interior and the Northern prefecture, attacked before the Council of State by the National Association of Supporters (ANS).
Two other travel bans are attacked by the ANS in summary proceedings before the Council of State: that prohibiting Reims supporters from going to Lens on Saturday evening as well as that targeting supporters of Nice, opposed to Le Havre in Normandy on Saturday at 5 p.m. . The hearing will take place this Thursday at 3:30 p.m.
A way of countering the current strategy of Place Beauvau, which has decided to prohibit the movement of supporters in matches classified as risky since the death of an FC Nantes supporter on the sidelines of the Nice reception at the beginning of December. “We are fully aware of the difficulties currently posed by the overall national context, particularly in terms of preventing the risk of terrorism and combating the minority who adopt unacceptable behavior during sporting events,” explains the association on Twitter.
“Measures which must remain exceptional”
“However, we note a shift in the administration’s conception of administrative police powers. This current conception is likely to create a systemic difficulty with a repetition of ministerial decrees despite court decisions. Consequently, we have become convinced that in the absence of a referral to the judge for interim relief, our inaction would be understood as a validation of these practices and a normalization of police measures which, in essence, must remain exceptional. continues the ANS.
This is the third time in a week that this association has brought travel ban decrees before the Council of State. On Tuesday, the one targeting Seville supporters opposing Lens in the Champions League was overturned by the courts less than three hours before the match kicked off. On Friday, the Council of State suspended four bans targeting Ligue 1 and Coupe de France matches.
