The opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics continues to stir controversy, despite the passage of more than a full week since it was held, specifically on July 26, in the Seine River in the French capital, and in the presence of prominent figures and athletes representing more than 200 countries participating in the major sporting event.
The opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics impressed and dazzled some, but it received harsh criticism from many others, due to the scenes and paintings that were displayed in it, which were in conflict with values and principles, and this went beyond athletes and figures in other fields.
This group criticized some of the scenes shown at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, which contradict human nature, as well as the insult to some religions, especially the “Last Supper” scene, which received great criticism from Christians and Muslims alike in the East and West.
Paris Olympics opening ceremony organizer faces death threats
Radio revealed:France info“- Quoting the French News Agency – Thomas Joly, the artistic organizer of the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, received death threats on social media from people who opposed some of the scenes he presented at the ceremony on July 26.
The same source indicated that Jolie filed a complaint last Tuesday, explaining that the National Investigation Center for Combating Online Hate, affiliated with the Paris Public Prosecutor’s Office, decided yesterday, Friday, August 2, to open an investigation into this case to determine its circumstances and reveal the accused.
Jolie filed his complaint with the Personal Crimes Suppression Squad, after receiving death threats on social media due to his origin and sexual orientation, as well as a defamation lawsuit against him, with him being repeatedly subjected to insults since the opening ceremony was held in the French capital.
The Summer Olympics in the French capital have witnessed many scandals, starting with the opening ceremony, the sabotage of high-speed trains hours before the start, and theft incidents, in addition to other problems such as the pollution of the Seine River, despite the organising committee spending 1.6 million euros to clean it, as revealed by media reports.
Followers of the major sporting event are waiting to see how the closing ceremony will appear, and whether it will include some controversial matters like what happened in the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics or not.
