Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram will appear before the French senate later this week to discuss the chaos at the Champions League final in Paris.
On Thursday, Mayor Rotheram will appear in front of the French Senate's Standing Committees on Laws and Culture to talk to senators about his own experiences at the final and his views on where things went wrong both before and after the game. He is also likely to be asked to comment on the responses provided by French ministers in the wake of the chaos.
Mayor Rotheram was one of many Reds fans who were targeted by local gangs in Paris. He had tweeted about the chaotic scenes before the match as thousands of Liverpool supporters were kettled into dangerous spaces before being targeted with pepper spray and tear gas by French police. But as he waited to get inside the Stade de France, the Metro Mayor had his phone and other crucial items stolen by locals.
