PSG vs Barcelona match will not be postponed despite protests, French PM says

He said he had asked regional authorities to impose partial, localised curfews in some cities to protect businesses, ruling out a blanket curfew in Paris. Lecornu said a state of emergency could be imposed if necessary but that curfews seemed better suited to the situation. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez also confirmed there were no plans to cancel the match.
