French clubs to go on anti-tax strike
French football clubs will go on strike for the first time in more than 40 years next month in protest at government plans to tax top earners 75 percent, the clubs announced yesterday.
The first lockdown in the professional French game since 1972 is scheduled for the last weekend of November after a unanimous vote against President Francois Hollande’s controversial supertax initiative. The president of the French professional clubs union (UCPF), Jean-Pierre Louvel, said: “We are involved in a historic protest.” Clubs in France’s first and second division — Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 — were “confirming their firm opposition to the 75 percent tax proposal” on annual incomes over 1 million euros (US$1.3 million) by staging a walkout between November 29 and December 2, he added.
