Baiona boycotts Qatar: They're not going to put giant screens to watch the World Cup.
- In line with the anti-World Cup initiatives to be held in Qatar in a few weeks’ time, several municipalities in the French state have announced that they will not broadcast the matches of the team on giant screens. Among these cities is Bayona.
Together with Baiona, there is Paris, along with Bordeaux, Lille, Marseille, Limoge and Angulema, among the municipalities that have shown their intention not to install fan zone or giant screens, to mention some of the highlights of the AFP.
"Baiona City Hall will not place giant screens during the World Championship. Boikota," wrote on social media Cyrille Laiguillon, deputy mayor and councillor of Sports in Baiona.
Boycott of part B of the largest sporting event: ecological impact, violation of human rights, deaths of workers, allegations of corruption... More and more voices are opposed, especially in France.
"The mayor agrees with the decision," explains Laiguillon, according to the newspaper Sud Ouest: "In 2018 we issued the final at the Lauga sports complex, with great success. But this year we are not going to do anything. It was a sporting scandal at first and an ecological scandal before it became a human scandal! ".
Unlike the mayors who have joined the initiative, the mayors of other municipalities, such as Cannes or Nice, have, for the time being, given up following the same path: "We will decide on the basis of the results obtained by the French selection". That is, if France wins, it has no problem with the holding of the World Championship in Qatar, but if it loses, the boycott.
