The French government's threat against the protesters The French Senate examined a controversial bill regarding liability for damages caused by demonstrations. The French Minister of the Interior Laurent Nunez said in justifying this action: "We can no longer allow the absolute majority of our citizens to pay for a minority of saboteurs." According to this draft law, protesters can be held liable for up to 10,000 euros for damages caused by demonstrations. The law was drafted after the riots that took place during the celebrations after Paris Saint-Germain's victory over Arsenal in the Champions League at the end of May.
