Activists projected the words ‘’The Other Side of the Medal’’ on the Paris 2024 main offices in the suburb of Saint-Denis and strung up protest signs outside the entrance in a brief demonstration Sunday night.
Paris police routinely clear out tent camps hoing migrants from around the world, citing public health and safety, but the French capital remains a magnet for people fleeing conflict or poverty, and camps routinely resurface. While this phenomenon was seen in other Olympic host cities, too, he said, “Paris has said it wants to be exemplary in a social and environmental level.”
In response, the Paris Olympics organizing committee said in a statement, ‘’In a spirit of dialogue and listening, Paris 2024 will approach the protesters to meet representatives and discs their concerns.” De Clerck said a meeting has been arranged for next week.
