« Something fell ” (Francis Cabrel) Again and Again (official music video) (youtube.com), and as usual with “Paris 2024″, it is heavy. It’s very heavy, too. Workers of a Parisian hotel owned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are on strike. They are demanding salary increase. Their motto: ” Luxury hotel, poverty income. » And it’s true: budget wise, things have become. In this area (and others), we have already broken all the records.
“Paris 2024”: unforgettable money!
The bill for the “Paris 2024” Olympic Games will be four times higher (less) than those in London in 2012. And this is without counting the public cost of the security guarantee.
« Inaccessible opening ceremony, on temporarily closed stands, on the dirty Seine, listening to musicians playing, in the rain, with expensive tickets. It’s the 2024 Paris Olympics. » (Bertrand Scholler)
To sing there, Céline Dion received a check for two million euros, and Aya Nakamura a check for seven hundred euros. That is a total of 2.7 million euros, which must be added to the sums (undisclosed) paid to other players also paid. At the 2012 Olympics in London, Paul McCartney sang for a Euro. Euro symbol. It is 100% in line with the “values” of Olympism, which, 12 years later, the kind organizers (1) of “Paris 2024” thus sold us two million times more for Celine Dion alone. Ditty is expensive!
Food isn’t cheap either. Some examples. 7 50 euros for a 150 g bag of chips, 4 50 euros for ice cream, 3 50 euros for 100 grams of popcorn. As the dishes are sold outside the Stade de France. The most expensive is a cheeseburger at 11 euros. Hot dogs are 9 50 euros, and chicken sandwiches and mozzarella ciabattas are 8 50 euros.
Even if the organizers had nothing to do with it in the past, add to that the massive disruptions that occurred on the SCNF network. They were due to the burning of several electrical transformers, and affected 800,000 tourists. Cascade cancellations and very serious delays for the rare trains kept, which however did not make the SCNF President lose his sense of humor. Indeed, Jean-Pierre Farandou announced this, on BFMTV, in the afternoon, on this topic: “ Those responsible for your power cuts are stupid people. »
To give you a little idea of the chaos at Gare Montparnasse this morning (even if we don’t really know for sure).
I haven’t seen this since Macron announced the lockdown in March 2020.
Good luck to those #SNCF and to the passengers! pic.twitter.com/XAxJOxwxRk

The first suspicion (for forgery) is aroused:
Finally, the height of shame, and a disaster for France’s image abroad and its former reputation, the English are complaining about the food served to the athletes in the Olympic village. He would be so ignorant (and disgusting?) that they had to hire a chef. An “English Chef”, in this case, as opposed to how these rules appear, my goodness, to anyone who has tasted (forced and forced?)” English gastronomy. »Yes: another oxymoron.
And, given how it started, the ongoing series of errors, shortcomings and gross errors of all kinds is almost never ending. (2)
The tragedy was such that only the commission of a bloody terrorist attack could cast a veil (3) over the guilty amateurism of the organizers (4). This makes me fear that his event, unfortunately, is not a myth to rule, despite the great ways put in to prevent it as much as possible. I hope I’m wrong, obviously. But apart from the fact that, it is true, the great importance of a tragedy of this nature and of such terror as the terrorist attacks of 2015, this importance is such that in comparison, it will return to blame the organizers. of “Paris 2024” as insignificant peccadilloes, and, therefore, if we fail to forgive them, we will quickly forget them. Respect for the dead is required.
I will talk to you about it again in my editorial tomorrow or Sunday. The topic should be carefully considered..
1) the GOs of this “Shit Club”: the big shit announced and confirmed at all levels.
2) do we say “close to stopping” or “ready to stop”? ” It’s up to you. Some people try: they have problems. » (Chevalier and Laspalles, cult tirade from the sketch» Train to Pau “). It was a gift to our friend Hassan Céef, leader of the CGT in Sud “Raïl”, Faudel whispered to me, the Little Prince of ” metal profile placed on sleepers and intended to guide the train wheels », said this time a Grand Robert who was passionate about trains when he was small. Like Jean Castex.
3) covering, rather, unfortunately: ” SHROUD: sheet in which a dead person is wrapped. »
4) an amateurism that is all the more culpable, if it turns out that the shortcomings observed are related to the particular result from abuse, and abuse of corporate assets and concealment, and not from incompetence which it is invoked. a minimum. Lack or absence of skills, or even, directly, lack of skills. In my opinion, no combo. I will talk to you about this too in a future editorial.
