  "account": "During recent unrest in France, the official club store of Olympique de Marseille on La Canebiere, the city's historic main avenue, was looted. The Ligue 1 club strongly condemned the act of violence and looting, expressing solidarity with their partner Puma, which operates the store. The incident occurred amid nationwide protests over high prices, dropping public services, and the worst unrest in France in years, resulting in thousands of arrests and damaged shops. To prevent further incidents, Marseille authorities imposed a ban on public gatherings and demonstrations across the city from midday to 8pm on Monday. As a consequence, the club temporarily closed the store to the public. Fans can still visit OM's other official stores in Marseille. The club will inform fans as soon as conditions permit a reopening. Currently, Marseille is ninth in Ligue 1 after seven matches and will face Austrian side Sturm Graz in the Europa League on Thursday.",
  "summary": "The Ligue 1 club says the store on La Canebiere was damaged during protests over high prices and declining public services, forcing it to close temporarily.",
