Overview

  • The Assembly has set hearings for police prefect Laurent Nunez on June 10 and will question Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau afterward to investigate weekend security failures.
  • Authorities arrested 642 people and placed 300 in custody after clashes, vandalism and two fatalities overshadowed the PSG celebrations.
  • Two young women reported being sexually assaulted in the post-match crowd, highlighting broader concerns as France records over 114,000 sexual assaults annually.
  • Women's rights advocates led by Claire Geronimi demand tailored training for law enforcement and stewards, creation of safe-return zones and increased female representation in event security planning.
  • Investigations into the incidents remain ongoing as lawmakers and rights groups press for comprehensive reforms to protect women at large public events.
