Olympic rings on Eiffel Tower - The Canadian PressPARIS —
The French legislative elections will take place in two rounds on June 30 and July 7, three weeks before the July 26 opening ceremony in central Paris that will include a floating parade of athletes on the River Seine. Despite the political uncertainty, Bach said any election was part of a “democratic process that’s not going to disturb the Games.”
Bach spoke while touring a Parisian middle school decorated with an Olympic theme alongside Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, French Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, and Paris organizing committee president Tony Estanguet, who was equally unfazed by the political developments.
