A French member of the European Parliament criticized the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.

French Member of the European Parliament from the Reconquista party Marion Marechal criticized the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.

⠀

“This ceremony does not reflect France. It is a statement from a left-wing minority that is ready for any provocation,” Marechal wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

⠀

“It was difficult to notice rare successful moments, against the backdrop of scenes with the beheaded Marie Antoinette and the kissing crowd,” the MEP noted, pointing to the “low quality of costumes and choreography.”

⠀

The opening ceremony of the Games in Paris was marked by incidental situations – the Olympic flag near the Eiffel Tower at the opening ceremony of the Games in Paris was hung upside down on a flagpole, announcers at the stadium announced athletes from South Korea were representatives of the DPRK.

⠀

Spectators began to leave the stands even before the start of the performance due to poor visibility. Those who remained had to watch what was happening in the pouring rain.
