“And how, yeah!” : Emmanuel Macron makes a surprising announcement

The countdown begins. On July 24, the city of Paris will kick off the 2024 Olympic Games. During this sporting event, Emmanuel Macron could well take the plunge. During the inauguration of the Olympic village, this Thursday, February 29, Brigitte Macron’s husband assured thathe would go swimming in the Seinea possibility which will be offered to Ile-de-France residents in the summer of 2025. “For the Ile-de-France residents, we will have the river and the Marne which will have changed their face and use the next day. And it’s great. If I go swimming? And how yeah!”, assured the tenant of the Élysée Palace in a sequence shared by RMC Story on the social network X (formerly Twitter, editor’s note). And to add, with a mischievous air: “There were commitments made. But yes, I will go. I’m not going to give you the date, You might be there.”

An announcement which is reminiscent of that of Anne Hidalgo. “And I tell you again, in July 2024, I will swim in the Seine!“, assured the mayor of the city of Paris during her wishes for the year 2024. In an interview given to West Franceon February 5, Rachida Dati’s rival assured thatshe would bathe “just down from the Town Hallat Pont-Marie, where swimming will be permanent after the Olympics”. “It will be a beautiful dive full of symbols” she detailed to our colleagues. During this interview, Jean-Marc Germain’s partner took the opportunity to invite other sports and public figures to imitate him, and notably the tenant of the Élysée Palace : “If he wants to come, he will obviously be welcome,” she told the President of the Republic. Although Emmanuel Macron and Anne Hidalgo are ready to take the plunge, rIt remains to be seen whether they will do it side by side…

Emmanuel Macron: this unprecedented request from the Head of State for the Olympics which greatly annoyed

Emmanuel Macron sees big things for the Paris Olympic Games. To ensure that this sporting event remains memorable, Tiphaine Auzière’s father-in-law dreams ofa unique open-air opening ceremony as indicated by our colleagues from Liberationn, on January 26. No more huge stadiums with teams parading one after the other, the head of state seeks the spectacular. What’s better than bring together thousands of people all along the Seine so that they can admire a parade of boats from each competing country. Thus, the opening ceremony of the Paris Games would become the largest in the world.

However, this “a bit crazy idea” ballast “a lot” too much, according to police headquarters. And for good reason, with so many people in such a vast city, he “is alarmed by the terrorist risks”. “It’s all Macron, it’s drunkenness”, would have declared a former senior official of the Parisian police who fought the river parade project alongside prefect Lallement. But wasted effort, this immense ceremony will take place on the Seine.
