Paris Olympics are set to go down in history as the worst opening ceremony in sporting history

Q24N (Apa) — The Paris Olympics are set to go down in history as the worst opening ceremony in sporting history.

It all started with the forced displacement of homeless and unregistered people from the areas where the competitions and the opening ceremony will be held in Paris in preparation for the Games. At that time, no steps were taken for those people to live in a new place and provide for themselves.

These repressive steps of the Paris mayor’s office and Macron’s government were carried out in parallel with the peak of crime in the city. Despite the involvement of police units and gendarmerie from all over France and EU countries in the city, criminal episodes continued in series. It had reached a dangerous level for tourists and sportsmen coming to the city.

For example, the rape of a 25-year-old woman from Australia by 5 people on the streets of Paris a few days before the games, the theft of personal belongings of the Argentine football team, or the robbery of half a million euros in a taxi by Zico, the bronze medalist of the championship yesterday, a few hours before the opening ceremony of the games, are signs of a dangerous trend. .

Amidst security concerns, chaos in transport, the inability to carry the load of the Olympics is another serious problem.

Finally, the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, which took place yesterday, was remembered for insulting people’s religious feelings, aggressive propaganda of sexual minorities, elements of Satanism, etc.

At a time when hundreds of millions of people from all over the world flocked to their screens to watch their country’s athletes, France used the sporting event to promote its own political-moral agenda.

At the opening ceremony, the religious feelings of Christians were insulted, and an unethical image of the prophet Jesus Christ was created. And this scene took place in a ceremony watched by hundreds of millions of people. The French authorities purposefully took the way of humiliating the religious feelings of the people.

APA reports that the poor organization and offensive performance shown at the Paris Olympic Games were also criticized by the world media.

The Guardian called the show “shambolic and over-pretentious” and said that the attempt to hold the ceremony on the Seine caused the disappointment of thousands of spectators. It was noted that this caused logistical problems and the audience could not see the show in its entirety.

France 24 criticized the organization and management of the crowd, stressing that many spectators could not enjoy the ceremony due to the fullness of the stands and the difficulty of access. Another controversial point is the performance of a group of drag queens who performed a parody of “The Last Supper”. This has been criticized, especially by conservative and religious groups.

Daily Mail publication noted that such “provocations” led to accusations of anger and disrespect for religious feelings.

Marion Marechal and even the CEO of “Tesla” Elon Musk called it “disrespect for Christians” and “provocation”.

BBC also called the use of drag queens to perform a parody of “The Last Supper”, which led to scandal and accusations of offending religious sentiments, a failed concept.

Republic World wrote that despite high expectations, the ceremony did not live up to the stated ambitions and is an example of such events not being organized on this scale. The newspaper described the ceremony as “a great spectacle”, but many in the audience were disappointed that they could not see the whole show.

The Economist wrote about the impact of the Olympics on Parisians: “Some shops and restaurants are closed until September. Museums are bracing for one of the lowest visitor numbers in recent years. High barbed wire fences separate neighborhoods. The police stand on every block and let who can pass. Paris is still feeling the lockdown it has already experienced due to COVID-19, as if it is waiting for a zombie attack. The Olympics will certainly make for exciting TV viewing, but sports fans are wise enough to watch the competition on the comfort of their couches away from Paris.”
