Why People are Threatening to Poop in Paris' River Seine? | Vantage on Firstpost

The 2024 Paris Summer Olympics are just a month away, but the Seine river has now become a massive source of controversy, After months of tests showing high levels of bacteria from sewage and wastewater, residents fed up with the river pollution are threatening to stage a mass defecation in protest. This comes as teams are bringing their own air conditioning to the Olympics because the Paris Games villages have no ACs. Our next report tells you why this Olympics is making so much noise.

The country does not have an Olympic pool in Paris? Only the French would force international athletes to swim in sewage.

[THE_CRYPT_CLLECTR]

Swimming has been ban for 100 years, but now it's okay for the olympics? That's scary.

[simrat]

So people are fed up with dirty river, hence they are going to make it even dirtier!!!?!

[cak]

If Paris didn’t think they could accommodate hosting an Olympics, they never should have bid for it. At the very least, the athletes should be able to have air-conditioning in their housing. And the Seine River sounds like it’s been an ongoing problem for 100 years. I feel sorry for those participating. Doesn’t sound like a fun time at all.

[supercamiful]

When the countries get poor the misery is rising 😂😂😂😂

[radhika]

France24 don't show this. This same country which create bogus press index ranking😂😂😂

[wsurfer]

The US bring AC but it might find out that the French does not provide enough electricity.

Protesting Pollution by Threatening to Pollute?

[pmx]

The amount of sarcasm and tone of it all, just bloody brilliant!!

[theloniousm]

This is ironic. Indian media company disses Paris because the river is polluted with sewage. Meanwhile the Ganges river has more raw sewage than water.

[kimberlyperrotis]

Don’t forget the huge outbreak of bedbugs everywhere in Paris.

[manisai]

this is comedy..welcome to Paris..So much hype about these countries

[coldsunflares]

Picking an Indian to narrate this report in particular is the height of ironic comedy

[Catherine.Dorian.]

The citizens of France should investigate where all that money went to cause I doubt it used the money to clean that river

[zombie_musiclife]

i just loved this male narrators sarcastic way/tone of saying how fking stupid the olympics organisers and french goverment are xd

[joshowen]

for having visited the place I can confirm Paris has always been a pathetic place. nothing like the 'city of light' or things like this. polluted and boring place. streets are all the same, buildings are all the same. Champs-Elysees certainly the most boring and exhausting street ever - strictly nothing to see and long like Antarctica. it's all literally false advertising. but they have amazing baguettes!

[MetalHeart]

Why don't they just use an indoor Pool? Ive seen many Olympic games on TV & the Swimming events are indoors.
the only ones out side ( with Water ) are the Kayak Races

[purberri]

It was a really bad idea to allow the Seine to be used as an event. I wouldn’t swim in it.

[onibaku]

They are just degrading the Olympic 😂😂😂 by giving nonsense excuses and irrelevant cost cutting

[nancyaguirre]

BYOAC. How embarrassing. So if it’s 100 degrees outside I want it less than 90 degrees inside.
