Medvedev calls the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris a pathetic spectacle
[Regnum] The opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris was a pitiful sight. This was stated on July 28 by Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev.
"I don't even want to say anything about the Olympics in Paris - it was a pitiful sight. Remember the Olympics in Sochi or the World Cup, which were brilliantly held in our country," he said.
Medvedev added that France, under the leadership of President Emmanuel Macron, has “degraded to the level of a whore” who grimaces “to the jeers of a crazed, godless crowd.”
“What a disgrace!” he concluded, calling for people to turn off their televisions and stop watching this freak show on the Internet.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the presentation of the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Paris was criticized around the world. The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, emphasized that some moments included in the program of the opening ceremony of the XXXIII Summer Olympic Games in Paris are disgusting. He noted that the International Olympic Committee, having agreed on such a presentation program, took a "dangerous path."
Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin compared the opening of the Paris Olympics and the BRICS Games in Kazan. According to him, if any event can explain the difference between the civilizations of the new West and the new East and the reason for their clash, it is these presentations. And an American telecommunications company refused to cooperate further with the Olympic organizers because of a transvestite show parody of the painting "The Last Supper".
The opening ceremony itself was marked by several awkward situations. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stated that the ceremony was a major failure. In particular, the diplomat pointed to the transport collapse that hit Paris on the opening day of the 2024 Games, the rats that flooded the streets of the French capital, as well as the mockery of the sacred Christian subject of the Last Supper, which, according to her, became the apotheosis of the ceremony.

Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin compared the opening of the Olympics in Paris and the BRICS Games in Kazan. According to him, if any event can explain the difference between the civilizations of the new West and the new East and the reason for their clash, then these are the aforementioned presentations.
In turn, member of the Federation Council Alexei Pushkov emphasized that the ideology of the ceremony held in Paris divides peoples and societies. In Greece, they stated that the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris demonstrated the collapse of civilization and Christian culture in Western Europe.
The opening ceremony itself was marked by several awkward situations. For example, the Olympic flag was installed on the flagpole upside down and then raised in the same position. After that, the flag was immediately lowered and returned to the correct position. When the boat with the South Korean team was sailing along the Seine, the South Korean athletes were confused with the DPRK team.

Pushkov: The authors of the Olympic opening ceremony "played the fool"
It is impossible to believe in the apologies of the organizers of the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympic Games in Paris, which caused a storm of negative reaction. This opinion was expressed on July 28 by member of the Federation Council of Russia Alexey Pushkov.
In particular, the parody of transvestites and LGBT representatives (recognized as an extremist movement and banned in the Russian Federation) on Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" caused the greatest outrage among social media users.
The senator is sure that the organizers are only pretending not to understand anything.
"This is called playing the fool: they say we didn't realize and didn't understand. We realized everything and understood everything perfectly well," the senator wrote on the Telegram channel.
He emphasized that everything at the event was thought out down to the smallest detail and the aggression against Christianity and its values was conscious, intentional and purposeful.
“Under the slogan of tolerance, they commit sacrilege time after time, fully understanding what they are doing,” Pushkov stated.

Azerbaijan calls French presenter's comment a violation of Olympic principles
The Ministry of Sports and the National Olympic Committee of Azerbaijan sent an official complaint to the International Olympic Committee in connection with the French presenter’s statements about Karabakh, calling on the organization to protest to the French leadership against the politicization of the games.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the National Olympic Committee of Azerbaijan announced the filing of a complaint to the International Olympic Committee against the words of a leading French TV channel, who mentioned Armenia's loss of Karabakh during the opening of the Olympics.
At the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympic Games in Paris on July 26, a correspondent for the French state television channel France 2 showed discrimination during the parade of athletes from Azerbaijan and Armenia, accusing the Azerbaijani side of initiating clashes with the Armenian side. At the same time, the commentator called Armenia a friendly country for France, noting that this year was remembered by the Armenian people for the "fall of Nagorno-Karabakh" under the onslaught of the Azerbaijani army, according to a statement from the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the National Olympic Committee of Azerbaijan.
"This is a de facto violation of the fundamental principles of the Olympic Charter. <...> The Charter clearly states that "The mission of the IOC is to promote Olympism throughout the world, to lead the Olympic movement, and to oppose any political or commercial exploitation of sports and athletes," the Report.Az agency quotes an excerpt from the statement.
The department and the Azerbaijan Olympic Committee "sent an official letter of protest to the International Olympic Committee," the statement said. "It notes that such a disrespectful attitude of the state TV channel towards Azerbaijan is an open violation of the Olympic Charter. Such propaganda not only contradicts the spirit of the Games, but also serves to undermine peace efforts between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Therefore, the IOC has been called upon to take a firm position against the politicization of sports during the 2024 Paris Olympics, to make an open statement and express protest to the French government, the French National Olympic and Sports Committee, as well as the aforementioned TV channel," the statement said.
