Following the recent violent incidents, on and off the pitches, this morning (Sunday) the chairman of the Football Leagues Administration Erez Kalfon addressed the directors general of the Ministry of Internal Security, Culture and Sports and Justice, urgently requesting speedy legislation that would allow more violent violence and further police The offenders from the pitches.
"As a follow-up to correspondence, discussions and conversations, I turn to you once again," Kalfon wrote in his letter to the CEOs and continued:
Violence on the part of a very small handful is enough to endanger all fans (the vast majority of whom oppose violence), impair their viewing experience, financially harm football clubs, prevent the arrival of families and children and empty the positive values embodied in football in general and sports in particular.
It is with great sorrow that I must point out that in the given situation the question is not whether a disaster will occur, but when it will occur. "
Kalfon added: "Once it was agreed that the existing legal tools could not combat the phenomenon, we jointly drafted legislative amendments that would give additional powers to combat the rioting minority, including administrative fines for fans and authority for police officers to keep rioting fans away for extended periods." January has not yet been published and therefore I would ask you to make an effort and give top priority to the advancement of this legislation, lest it cost human life God forbid.We are at your disposal as much as necessary in advancing this necessary move.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
