While the stadiums are empty because of the coronavirus in France, it is this Wednesday at 11 am that the former sports minister Marie-George Buffet and the deputy En Marche Sacha Houlié report on stadium bans and supporterism.
This work, originally focused on the IAS (administrative stadium ban), proposes that the maximum duration be reduced to six months (compared to two years today) and twelve months in the event of recurrence (compared to three years currently), and that their use be more strictly framed.
End travel bans
Parliamentarians also propose to end collective sanctions. For Marie-George Buffet, travel bans have become groundless for some. Rather, it is necessary to amplify the dialogue in order to try to recreate a climate of trust.
“I understand that during times of crisis, it is easier to prohibit a movement of supporters to devote the police to other more important tasks. But we see that these travel bans also mobilize the police force to that they are respected, sometimes with reasons that go back a long way when they are no longer the same supporters. We have seen copied pasted it is more possible. “
We suggest that we go to statutes for these supporters’ representatives. – Marie-George Buffet
“There have been advances like the representatives of supporters who play a considerable role, without sometimes having the status or salary corresponding to their responsibilities. This is why we are proposing that we go towards statutes for these supporters representatives . “
Towards framed smoke bombs
Among the deputies associated with the report, the deputy En Marche de la Loire, Jean-Michel Mis, participated in the parliamentary mission hearings. For him, this report aims to give more responsibility to supporters especially on the issue of smoke bombs.
“There is the will to open up on the question of smoke bombs by changing the amenities of supporters. That is to say that we give them greater powers but also greater responsibilities, so as to organize themselves one of the important proposals in this report. “
This is an important issue for ASSE and supporters’ associations which do not represent an economic interest but a certain number of values. – Jean-Michel Mis
“In Saint-Etienne, we know that this is an important issue for the club and the associations of supporters who do not represent an economic interest but a certain number of values. And then, the League must agree to participate and to ‘initiate a reflection on the role of the disciplinary committee of the League. “
The closed sessions pronounced by the disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League are singled out. The report wishes “Open an experimental phase with a view to preparing the legalization of a supervised use of pyrotechnic devices in the stands”.
