Matthew Valet opposed the withdrawal of stun grenades, believing that the incident in Lens, where a young man lost a hand, did not justify disarming the police. He added that a police officer or gendarme could not be held responsible if someone picked up a grenade at the moment of its explosion. Referring to the events of the previous day at the Place de la Bastille, he claimed that the absence of grenades and LBD (flash-ball launchers) in the face of individuals determined to attack the police risked causing a "bloodbath." He questioned whether this would lead to more confrontations at close quarters and injuries. Valet stated that he felt Emmanuel Macron preferred to see a police officer hospitalized rather than a rioter imprisoned. He argued that disarming police officers exposed them to injury and reminded that they were parents wearing a uniform. He also criticized the Magistrates' Union, accusing it of complacency towards the far left. According to him, excusing violence contributed to its rooting in France. #sécurité #violence #police (translated)

Cristiano Ronaldo claimed that the Portuguese coach had proposed a plan for him to participate in international matches, which he accepted. According to him, the plan stipulated that he would play in the first and last match and would not go to Norway or Denmark. However, he had agreed to play 30 minutes in Norway at the coach's request. Ronaldo then reproached the coach for breaking his word. He said they had agreed that the coach would acknowledge in a press conference that he had proposed the plan, that Ronaldo had never asked to play, and that it was wrong of him to make him warm up without putting him in the game. Simão Coutinho, a manager at Al Nassr, had witnessed their exchanges, he specified. Ronaldo felt that the tone of the coach during the press conference was different from that of their private conversation. The Portuguese captain acknowledged that he had been wrong not to greet the supporters after the match and for leaving the gathering. He apologized to them, as well as to his teammates, while explaining that the breach of trust had led him to leave. He also stated that he accepted the Federation's sanction and indicated that he would remain available for the national team after his suspension, provided he was fit and playing for his club. #CristianoRonaldo #ÉquipeNationale #Football (translated)
