After the double ascent, there is fear on Lake Geneva: the city of Lausanne wants to ban fan marches

It is scary! At the big clubs Basel and YB, thousands of fans march together from the central station from a hall to the stadium. This horde often leaves a trail of destruction in front yards and small streets.

And that is what the city of Lausanne now wants to prevent, where weekend after weekend is feared after the rise of Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy and Lausanne-Sport.

“Do you like a blockaded city?”

For example, SP politician Louis Dana said not without smugness in the city council: “Do you like football? You are served. Do you like a blocked city? You will also be served.”

He therefore submitted an interpellation entitled “Three Walloon people in first class: victory or own goal”, as “24 Heures” writes. He is also surprised that permits are never obtained for these “fan parades”, “when this is customary on similar occasions such as the women’s strike day in mid-June”.

The municipality is prepared for everything

City councilor Pierre-Antoine Hildbrand (FDP), responsible for security, finds it unacceptable that fans are being driven from the train station to the stadiums in the form of parades. In any case, he will not hesitate to drive visiting fans to the stadium in cars if necessary – or even introduce a total ban on visiting fans. And he likes another idea: the arrival of fans at stations other than those in the city of Lausanne.

Green politician Valéry Beaud pointed out that it had become impossible to live in the northeast neighborhoods of Lausanne during the seasons. “Some of these neighborhoods are not accessible by public transport for hours. That is absolutely unacceptable.”

A national solution is being sought

At the conclusion of the debate, the city council passed four resolutions. That the city council takes all necessary precautions to prevent fan marches. That he disclose the costs of police operations for football matches. That the city involves the Lausanne transport company in transporting the ventilators. And finally, that the city is committed to a national solution to this problem.
