According to the “Tagesspiegel,” citing an interview with “Spiegel,” Reul criticized that referee Sven Jablonski did not abandon the match despite heavy smoke. “I would have been in favor of abandoning it,” the CDU politician said. “Because some people only understand it that way, that they have crossed a line.”
Fans of both clubs had set off massive pyrotechnics on May 23 at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium to protest against the German Football Association. The match was briefly interrupted but not abandoned. Bayern Munich won 3-0.
The issue of stadium security is set to be discussed again at the conference of interior ministers starting Wednesday in Hamburg. However, according to “Spiegel,” no concrete measures are included in the paper. Reul expressed dissatisfaction: “I don’t have the impression that we are really making progress.” He is calling for clubs to be obliged to carry out stricter checks.
