In July this year, the French side will hold the Summer Olympics, and it can be said that in order to qualify for the Olympics, the French side can be said to have boasted at the beginning.
But seeing that there are less than 100 days before the opening ceremony, but the French side was suddenly exposed, and the opening ceremony mentioned before is likely to be unable to be held, what is going on?
According to relevant reports, the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics held in Paris, France, is less than 100 days away, and Paris is known as the "romantic capital of the world".
The opening ceremony plan given by the French side is also very romantic, and at the press conference held by the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee, Catherine Ettori, the ceremonial director of the Paris Olympic Games, introduced the planning and details of the opening ceremony.
According to Catherine, the opening ceremony of the Games will be held outdoors, and the athletes will cruise along the Seine River in the boat.
Starting at the Austerlitz Bridge, you will pass by some of France's most famous buildings, including Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, the Grand Palais and the Eiffel Tower.
However, news broke that the opening ceremony was too big for the French side to bear the possible dangers, so it may adopt another plan.
According to relevant reports, French President Emmanuel Macron said on April 15, local time, that if the security threat is considered too high, the opening ceremony planned to be held on the Seine River will be held at the Stade de France instead.
As soon as this news broke, many people expressed that they could not accept it, you must know that France had disclosed three plans for the opening ceremony, the first of which was the Seine, which was also the most perfect one.
The second is to limit the opening ceremony to the area of Piazza Trocadero, leaving only the artistic performances of the first plan, that is to say, there is no romantic trip.
But the last one, which was indeed the most uninteresting, was to move the opening ceremony to the Stade de France, in which there were no romantic parades, no art performances, and the ceremonies became boring official speeches.
Regarding such behavior of the French side, many netizens have said that if you don't have the ability to hold such a good opening ceremony, you should simply not break it out in the first place, so that in comparison, who can accept the third plan.
However, President Macron also gave a corresponding explanation, he said that there are security risks in the first plan, because France is not like China, it is a very safe national capital, and there are many terrorist incidents in Western countries.
You must know that in 2015, there was a series of terrorist attacks in Paris, France, and many people lost their lives in this crisis.
Among the three plans for the opening ceremony, the first one obviously requires a large number of escorts, and the security is also a very big problem.
Therefore, for the sake of the safety of the athletes who came to participate in the competition and the people from all over the world, the French side gave two alternative plans after many discussions.
However, it can be seen from President Macron's statement that the matter has not been finalized, and only said that if the security risk is too high, two other plans will be adopted.
So it's still unclear which one will ultimately be determined, but of course the first option is certainly the best, but the security issue is definitely the most important.
You must know that the Olympics is a world-class event, and there are hundreds of countries participating in it, and many important people will go there at that time, and if the security is not guaranteed, if something happens, it will have a very big impact.
It has been reported that in order to ensure the security of this time, the French side has asked 45 countries around the world for help in security, hoping to get funding from security personnel.
In this regard, 35 countries also said that they would send their relevant troops to assist the French side, but after all, the security problem is very serious, and it is reasonable for the French side to give an alternative.
And in addition to the most serious safety problems, the French side is facing many problems this time, such as the water quality of the Seine, which is very poor.
According to relevant reports, the water quality of the Seine River is very high in bacteria, and from previous tests, it has been found that the water of the Seine River contains many E. coli and other bacteria.
We hope that the French side can solve the problem of the water quality of the Seine River as soon as possible so that it will not affect the Olympic competition.
I still hope that France can continue to use the first opening ceremony plan, after all, such an opening ceremony just sounds very expected, and I also wish France a perfect Paris Olympics.
