« From Milan-Cortina to Brisbane, via the French Alps, the Olympic Games still constitute an environmental aberration, a financial waste and a denial of democracy. "This is what several associations want to make clear." Wednesday afternoon in front of the IOC headquartersA call to demonstrate has been launched by the Citizen Collective JOP 2030, Games Watchdog 2032 and Together for Victoria Park, an association committed to preserving the park where a stadium will be built for the 2032 Games.

« All together, Let's say STOP to the IOC and put an end to this madnessthey say. Despite its fine promises of sustainable Games, based on existing infrastructure, mindful of the environment and the protection of indigenous peoples, the system put in place by the International Olympic Committee, a private association under Swiss law, still produces the same harmful effects: astronomical environmental, social and financial costs. "The associations are calling for people to gather" from 14 p.m.They hope to be able to to submit their grievances » to the institution.
