Before the Corsican derby against Gazélec Ajaccio, scheduled Saturday, November 21, the Sporting Club de Bastia made no mention of the national anthem, in his detailed program for the tribute to the victims, published on its website. The frames of Corsica club feared the whistles during the singing, the newspaper Corse-Matin .
To support “families in grief and pain “ is the Corsican anthem that will resonate in the stadium of Furiani. The Diu Vi Salvi Regina “a sacred chant by which for centuries Corsica honors the deceased” , the statement said SC Bastia. “This decision is incomprehensible” , reacted Jean Zuccarelli, Bastia city councilor and executive adviser of the Corsican Assembly, told the website of BFMTV. We thought that ‘there would be a consensus to honor the memory of the victims. “ According to him, there is no reason to play the two songs.
The Professional Football League, it remains prudent for time. “I asked all the L1 and L2 clubs to play Marseillaise” simply commented its president, Frederic Thiriez, quoted by L’Equipe. I’m from person to impute motives and I think everyone will have at heart to respect this time. “
