The president of the International Olympic Committee says the snap national election called by French President Emmanuel Macron will not impact the Paris Olympics
The snap national election called by French President Emmanuel Macron will not impact the Paris Olympics, IOC president Thomas Bach said on Monday. Bach said the Paris Games have always had broad support across the French political spectrum and added, “I have no indications whatsoever that this unity will break now, just ... before the Games open.
There will be a new parliament, a new government, and everybody will support the Olympic Games.” Bach spoke while touring a Parisian middle school decorated with an Olympic theme alongside Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, French Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, and Paris organizing committee president Tony Estanguet, who was equally unfazed by the political developments. “There have been a dozen elections since we became candidates to host the Olympics,' Estanguet said.
