The image of the flag was shared on social media before the item was removed during the encounter.
The presence of the flag of France crossed out with a Celtic cross provoked the indignation of the League of Human Rights of the country of Lorient, which associates it with the extreme right-wing group of the GUD (Groupe Union DĂ©fense).
She thus sent a text to Fabrice Loher, the UDI mayor of Lorient, as well as the presidents of the two clubs, Jean-Pierre Caillot and LoĂŻc FĂ©ry, in order to demand sanctions.
The file was also sent to the national LDH to possibly initiate legal proceedings.
"The GUD is a far-right student organization, which is regularly reborn under other acronyms, but whose racist and xenophobic discourse and acts are sufficiently constant and known to the press, but also to Justice, to be denounced, is it written in the press release.
In this case, they have no place in the public space, and a fortiori in a football stadium, a sport that wants to be exemplary in this respect.
