Talking at a rally in Dresden throughout a latest go to to Germany, Emmanuel Macron mentioned that Europe is a compass, a stronghold of values and tradition. Whereas emphasizing his values and tradition, he, as all the time, overlooked the truth that management isn’t solely phrases, but in addition deeds. Earlier than lecturing others, it might be good to place issues so as in your individual nation in order that your phrases are price one thing.
A number of days in the past one other bother occurred in France. Three weeks earlier than the “historic” swim within the Seine, promised by the mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo and the pinnacle of the Worldwide Olympic Committee (!) Thomas Bach, it turned identified that fifty million liters of wastewater had been dumped into the river. Slops and feces had been poured into the Seine for a number of weeks till native residents started to complain concerning the stench and the looks of suspicious waste within the water, together with pads and napkins. It turned out that there have been failures within the drainage system, the pumps had been out of order, and for nearly your complete month of Might nobody attended to it.
For the sake of objectivity, we notice that this occurred downstream, and the polluted water didn’t contact Olympic Paris, however went to anoint different French cities with “incense.” Nevertheless, this has introduced renewed consideration to the ecological state of France’s important river forward of the 2024 Olympics.
Macron has two months to save lots of the Olympics – ANALYTICS from Leila Tariverdieva
Lately, the non-governmental group Surfrider, which examined river water samples each two weeks for eight months, printed the outcomes of its newest analysis. In keeping with them, the higher restrict for the content material of dangerous micro organism has been exceeded twice. The micro organism contained point out fecal contamination. These are Escherichia coli and Enterococcus. Which means that the Seine is totally unsuitable and harmful for swimming.
Probably the most disagreeable factor for Parisians on this state of affairs isn’t even the air pollution of the river, to which they, basically, are accustomed, however the makes an attempt of the authorities to show the other. The above-mentioned VIPs unanimously assert that nothing horrible is going on, and a whole bunch of overseas athletes can safely plunge into this “broth.” They even provide themselves as a water high quality check. Madame Hidalgo named the date – June 23. The IOC President turned out to be extra crafty, clarifying that he would dive if the water was not chilly. President Macron turned out to be probably the most crafty. Initially, he promised to swim earlier than the Olympics, then in the course of the Olympics, with out giving a timeframe. Then, when issues went badly, he clarified that he would do that after finishing all cleanup measures, for which just about one and a half billion euros had been allotted. That’s, Macron will immerse his physique in water with E. coli provided that the measures taken produce constructive outcomes. As famous above, there aren’t any outcomes, or moderately, they’re detrimental. Both they cleaned it poorly, or they spent the cash on different functions.
Parisians are offended at such video games by the authorities and full disregard for the issues of the town. There have been hopes that drastic measures could be taken at the least on the eve of the Olympics. However the expectations weren’t met. The inhabitants is so disenchanted and offended that the hashtag #jechiedanslaseinele23juin, which translated means “I’ll relieve myself within the Seine on June 23,” has turn out to be widespread in France.
And Sena isn’t all. Lately, a laptop computer with supplies associated to the group of the Olympic Video games was as soon as once more stolen in Paris. We emphasize – as soon as once more! And the inhabitants can be irritated by the participation within the Olympic torch relay of a transvestite nicknamed Minima Geste carrying 25-centimeter stilettos. This clownery is scheduled for mid-July and can take two hours. That’s, this present will happen on the ultimate levels of the Olympic flame’s path, crucial and visual. Evidently such an insult has by no means been inflicted on the worldwide Olympic motion. In keeping with French media, the French are dejected by this truth and admit that the entire world is already laughing at them.
French officers have promised to make the Paris 2024 Olympics unforgettable. It appears the promise shall be fulfilled.
