France Proposes Tougher Penalties After PSG Fan Violence

Following the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) victory celebrations, several incidents of violence and vandalism led to calls for stricter penalties. Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin announced a proposal to eliminate suspended sentences for those convicted of assaulting police officers. "The current system is not sufficient to address the severity of these attacks," Darmanin stated in a recent press conference. Prime Minister François Bayrou added, "The French people expect a strong response to such lawlessness." This proposal, which includes mandatory minimum sentences and increased fines, is a direct response to the recent events and aims to deter future violence. The video shows footage from the disturbances and highlights the proposed legal changes. The proposal is currently under consideration in the French parliament.
