Athletistic / Olympic Games. French President Emmanuel Macron has discussed the possible cancellation or postponement of the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Initially, it was planned to hold it on the banks of the Seine.
“We want the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games to be very beautiful, we want to show the face of France. For safe keeping, we will mobilize all special services and establish a security perimeter.
In the event of a security threat, the opening ceremony could be limited to the Trocadéro or even the Stade de France. This is a precautionary measure,” Macron said according to RMC Sport.
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is scheduled for July 26. For the first time in history, this cannot take place in a stadium. Organizers planned to allow around 600,000 spectators onto the platform. On March 28, we learned that the intelligence services had recommended to the French Ministry of the Interior to refuse to organize the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games on the Seine due to the threat of terrorist attacks.
