A video and hashtag #boycottParis2024 shared on “NewYorkInsider” X (former Twitter) went viral as it smartly juxtaposed sports played in the Olympics and police brutality against French citizens.
The clip which concluded with the question: Human Rights? garnered 1Mln views and got banned.
The NewYorkInsider shed light on the Host country of the 2024 Olympic Games and its “double standards” and “human rights abuses” perpetrated against ordinary citizens for months, a backwash of the government’s half-witted decisions.
Funnily enough, France had expressed concerns about human rights and migrants’ situation in Qatar in the 2022 World Cup.
Many reacted to the video, including famous journalists, officials, and leaders of political parties. The Révolution écologique pour le vivant (REV) party twitted that France failed to hide its misery.
French activist Julien Bayou said mockingly that the whole world has discovered Macron’s politics and environmental hypocrisy.
Many French citizens held President Macron responsible for France’s blatantly flawed political approach.
