Increased security over EURO 2016

After yesterday's fear over the fans' issue, today the EURO organizers revealed that 10.000 security members will be at every game at the tournament. Just four months before the competition the French are fearing of new terrorist attacks similar to those happened last November when 130 people lost their lives. After those deadly attacks the organizers have decided to secure from the state 34 million euros, said by the organizing committee president Jacques Lambert. The amount means that the budget has increased by 15%. The organizers will be responsible for the security in stadiums, while French authorities around it and for the duration of the championship. All games are designated as high risk.
