![]() My French roommate David told me that during the last World Cup, the authorities passed a law making it illegal to show any flags in public two days before the biggest Algerian match. They all have giant flags hanging from their rails half of them Russian, the other half English. I reach the old port to find it full of enormous luxury yachts. I leave the apartment and already feel a certain charge in the air and in the people I pass. It is Saturday and I go for a jog on my normal path, around the old port. I am almost completely oblivious to this event happening minutes from where I live. On the second day of the Euro Cup, England plays Russia at the Marseille stadium. At what point does the ratio of masked security to spectator tip over? Can we imagine a future where there is one undercover agent for every spectator? Would that still pass as celebration? I remember thinking: what is actually being performed in this mediated spectacle when one fifth of the crowd is only there in spectator drag? I imagined being in the crowd, myself performing spectatorship, with the knowledge that every fifth person I brushed shoulders with was an authority masked as spectator. The report estimated that one in five people in the crowd were undercover security agents. I haven’t read the specific numbers related to these Euro Cup events but a few years ago I remember reading a report about security at Times Square on New Year’s Eve. ““We must say the truth to the French people: 0 percent precautions means 100 percent risk, but 100 percent precautions does not mean 0 percent risk,” Bernard Cazeneuve, the interior minister, said in late May.” (NYTimes).Īside from military and police, countless undercover security agents in plain clothes mix with the crowds. Marseille has one of the largest fan zones in France, expecting some 80,000 people. The biggest fear is that terrorists will attack the big outdoor fan zones. Security forces are completely overstretched as they perform various drills to practice for the likely event of a terrorist attack. Several days ago I read an article in the New York Times, describing France’s counter-terrorism preparations.
