Merseyside's only Conservative MP has slammed French authorities for presiding over 'terrifying' scenes at the Champions League Final and said he will push for full answers on the chaos that took place.
Damien Moore, MP for Southport, said that the severity of the complaints he has received from constituents have led to him making 'urgent contact' with relevant authorities to demand answers and ensure those responsible are held to account. Thousands of Liverpool fans were forced into dangerous crushes before the final at the Stade de France in May and hundreds were attacked and robbed by local gangs in Paris.
Liverpool fans were left shaken and furious not just at their treatment around the time of the final, but by desperate attempts by both UEFA and French ministers to try and blame them for the problems that occurred with false statements around supporters arriving late or huge numbers of Reds fans turning up with fake tickets. UEFA has apologised to fans and is currently carrying out an investigation into the situation.
