One dead, dozens wounded, nearly 900 arrested and 178 officers beaten in the riots following the PSG victory
The Minister of the Interior has explained that 45% more arrests were made than last year, when a large police apparatus was deployed across the country in anticipation of riots. French President Emmanuel Macron said he was "fed up with unacceptable scenes of violence."
The riots last Saturday in Paris.
French Interior Minister Laurent Núñez said on Monday that890 people had been arrested in the riots following the victory of Paris Saint Germain (PSG) in the Champions League final on Saturday, and 178 officers of the security forces wereinjured .
Nuñez told France Info that 45% more people have been arrested than in last year's riots when the PSG won its first Champions League victory.
"We knew these celebrations were going to lead to excesses, riots, attacks on law enforcement, so we had a large (police) device ready, there was a strict intervention order, and that's what's been done, systematically," he said to explain the escalation of arrests.
On the causes of this violence, the minister has suggested that they should be sought beyond football.
In anticipation of riots, the French Government deployed 22,000 police and gendarmes throughout France, 8,000 in Paris and the metropolitan area. Government spokesman Maud Bregeon recalled that the riots surrounding the PSG victory celebrations are "unacceptable and incomprehensible."
He said, "There is an endemic problem of violence in France , it happens over and over again, we have a problem of education, a problem of culture, "and he called for collective responsibility, both political and of parents and families.
French President Emmanuel Macron has declared himself "fed up" with the "unacceptable scenes of violence" seen on Saturday in Paris and other French cities.
Street violence "is not football," said the French president, who described what happened as "unspeakable." He said he would not tolerate such situations again, as it is the second year in which serious disturbances occur in France, especially in Paris.
Among the many incidents that took place on Saturday night to Sunday, the most tragic was the death of a 24-year-old motorist who died when he hit concrete blocks on the road in the Paris variant.
In addition to the officers, more than 200 people were injured in the riots, and material damage is significant.
