Political turmoil in France won't affect Paris Games, IOC head says | ABS-CBN News

Political upheaval in France won't affect preparations for the Olympics, IOC President Thomas Bach and Paris 2024 organisers said on Monday (June 10) after President Emmanuel Macron shocked France with his call for new parliamentary elections. Macron called the snap election to try to reassert his authority after the far-right National Rally (RN) trounced his own party in Sunday's (June 9) European Parliament vote. Voting rounds will be held on June 30 and July 7, the latter coming less than three weeks before the July 26-Aug 11 Olympics begin in Paris.
