Football: Red cards against Macron for the French Cup final?

Emmanuel Macron's unpopular pension reform has left its mark and could extend to the Stade de France. As RMC Sport reveals, a new mobilization action against the Head of State could take place on Saturday April 29 in the Dionysian setting, the scene of the final of the Coupe de France football between FC Nantes and FC Toulouse (21 hours).

As tradition dictates, the presence of the President of the Republic is part of the protocol for organizing this end-of-season event. Emmanuel Macron should first appear on the lawn to greet the 22 players before kick-off, then present the trophy to the future winners at the end of the match.

But this final could well be marked by acts of discontent from opponents of the pension reform, especially during these two crucial moments, where Emmanuel Macron will be most prominent. According to our colleagues, small red cards could be distributed before the meeting, in front of the Stade de France, so that they can be brandished when the President of the Republic makes his appearance.

The Coupe de France final could also be marred by power cuts. To avoid any interruption, four generators are provided at the Stade de France to allow the match to be held under normal conditions. The third second of the 49th minute will also be closely scrutinized, with reference to article 49.3 of the Constitution, the one on which the government relied to force the reform through the National Assembly.
