Politics gets involved...
The impact of Zinédine Zidane in the city of Marseille, and more broadly in the Bouches-du-Rhône, goes beyond the simple framework of sport.
Icon of his city of birth, pride of the district of La Castellane, the Zidane rumor in Paris also takes the form of a communication tool for local politicians like Samia Ghali, deputy mayor of Marseille and former senator of the region: "
In Marseille , we have two stars: OM and Zidane.
These stars must shine in the same sky, that of Marseille.
Zizou, your story is here and it cannot be written elsewhere.
I still believe it!
".
Renaud Muselier, president of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, was one of the first political figures in Marseille to speak out on the rumor, tweeting a "broken heart" emoji, which many Marseilles people feel.
Same observation for Sébastien Jibrayel, deputy mayor in charge of Sports, who does not wish to openly criticize the possible decision of the 98 world champion, although he does not hide his immense disappointment.
“
You need a Marseillais in Paris to “eventually” win the Champions League … Like many Marseillais, I am disappointed but I respect this choice, if it is confirmed
”, he squeaks.
Departmental secretary of the Communist Party, Jérémy Bacchi did not hesitate to send several spades to Paris Saint-Germain, in particular on Qatari money which will not be able to buy "

they buy "
