A CEREMONY at City Hall today to celebrate Paris Saint-Germain's league title was cancelled after rioting marred festivities in the French capital, and the interior minister responded to the public outcry by calling a top-level meeting to discuss what went wrong.
PSG players had been scheduled to raise the championship trophy aloft from City Hall's balcony today evening, but those plans were scrapped, the Paris mayor's office said yesterday.
Interior Minsiter Manuel Valls summoned representatives from PSG, the French football league, the police department, the mayor's office, and anti-hooliganism officials for a meeting.
"I obviously assume my part of responsibility in this fiasco," French league president Frederic Thiriez said in a statement, referring to the fact that the LFP had given the go-ahead for the presentation to be held at the landmark Trocadero plaza.
The celebrations on Monday to honor PSG's first title in 19 years were cut short amid violent scenes that started at the Trocadero, near the Eiffel Tower, as fans fought with riot police. More than 30 were injured and 21 arrested.
