Paris Olympics organising committee member Guy Drut lends support for far-right
In an interview published this week in France, former Olympics gold medallist Guy Drut, a member of the International Olympic Committee and as such a director of the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics organising committee, argued in favour of voting for the far-right Rassemblement National party in the forthcoming legislative elections. His comments, including warning of a “fascist threat” from the Left, followed calls from numerous sports personalities for the public to mobilise against the far-right which is running high in opinion polls. Antton Rouget reports.
NumerousNumerous men and women from the world of sport in France have taken a public stand over the past days to warn, either explicitly or in general terms, of the danger of a far-right government being elected in the legislative elections to be held in the country on June 30th and July 7th.
