French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on Tuesday he would ask President Emmanuel Macron to call an extraordinary parliamentary session in early July to speed up adoption of the government’s RIPOST security bill after violence linked to Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League victory.
The bill was presented by the government on March 25 and has already been cleared by the Senate. It targets what the government calls everyday disorder, including illegal rave parties, misuse of nitrous oxide, fireworks mortars and drug use, and would widen some police and surveillance powers.
More than 200 people were injured and one person died in Paris after Paris Saint-Germain won the UEFA Champions League for a second straight year, the interior ministry said on Sunday.

Lecornu told the National Assembly he would propose the RIPOST bill be put on the agenda in the week of July 6, while adding that France does not do enough to make perpetrators pay for what they destroy, saying repair costs were too often “charged to society”.
The prime minister has also asked ministers to come up quickly with proposals to recover those sums more effectively and to act in a “much more coercive” way. He further ruled out suspending welfare benefits, but floated using part of benefit payments, excluding a minimum living allowance, to finance compensation for damage.
