The Ultras Paris Collective (CUP), the main group of fans of the capital club, posted on Twitter this photo of a banner "
PSG-OM: 9 years of organized gang sodomy
" on the Bir-Hakeim bridge, in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Sunday morning, Rouge Direct, which fights against homophobia in the world of football, denounced on the same social network a "
homophobic insult
" and "
unacceptable
".
“
Impunity for homophobia in football only feeds it.
On March 17, 2019, there were homophobic insults during a PSG-OM in the presence of the minister
”, develops the spokesperson for the collective Julien Pontes to AFP.
“
We will certainly file a complaint against these banners as we do every time.
We are the only ones to do it.
Why is the Paris town hall not doing it?
PSG, OM, football authorities should react,
”he continued.
A photo deployed near the Parc des Princes of a banner targeting Marseille striker Dimitri Payet was also published: "
Dimitri, the only thing you raised is Ludivine
".
Asked by AFP, the CUP did not react.
PSG receives in the evening (9:00 p.m.) its rival Marseille, against whom it has not lost since 2011. During the match in March 2019, Sports Minister Roxana Maracineanu, present at the stadium, had qualified as "
inadmissible
" some Parisian songs.
Refrains assimilating the Marseillais to "
rats
", "
queers
" or "
motherfuckers
" had then been heard.
Subject to the restrictions of the government gauge, the Parc des Princes reduced the number of spectators to around 4,000 for the “
Clasico
”, always eagerly awaited.
The CUP has already indicated at the end of August that it will "
neither go to the Parc des Princes nor on the road, as long as the situation does not change.
