Roger87 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Now, related more of Melenchon, even with some issues in references of foreign and european affairs, I wouldn't personally have a problem if he becames a president. His platform is actually a full returning to the socialist basis and has good points in defense of minorities and animal rights. Anyway, Melenchon or Macron, better than Le Pen.

Rob2012 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 The centrist Emmanuel Macron and far-right leader Marine Le Pen have won the first round of voting in French presidential elections, projected results say.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39686993?ocid=socialflow_twitter That should mean Macron President unless the head-to-head polls for the 2nd round are hugely wrong. And as far as this thread goes, the recently anti-Olympic but now reluctant supporter of Paris 2024 finished fourth, so won't be in the run off.

JO2024 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Yes, I don't see how Le Pen would be elected. Macron will be our next president, and this is all good regarding the Paris 2024 bid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.bernham Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 The idea of Donald Trump giving a speech in support of LA and Macron giving a speech in support of Paris is like Chirac VS Blair. Only this time, it's France with the charismatic, attractive, liberal leader. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to dismiss that as a silly comparison but actually, you can easily see Macron turning up and speaking in French and English to the IOC, as Blair did, whilst his opposite number struggles to to string a sentence in his native language and goes around insulting other nation's cultures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why if LA2024 agrees to the double-award thing, everyone would be spared the sight, sound or presence of the Orange Trumpkin -- except for a video message which could suddenly suffer technical glitches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the same age as Tony Estanguet (39) He has roots in the Pyrenees like both co-chairs of Paris 2024 (Tony Estanguet and Bernard Lapasset) He's from the same town (Amiens) as the head of the Paris 2024 commitee (Etienne Thobois) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger87 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 BTW, in case of interest - Marine Le Pen steps down temporally as leader of FN for making a full presidential campaign. This will be the end of her Trojan horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanMUC Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Fingers crossed the supporters of Fillon, Melenchon etc have the sense to see what's at least the lesser of two evils from their perspective. And that just cannot be the she-wolf in a sheep's fur. I know what the polls say, but in the end, the real votes count, so I'm not counting chicken yet.

neige Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 On 02/04/2017 at 4:18 PM, neige said: Here's my investigation about athletics at the Stade de France (didn't know it before) http://www.lequipe.fr/Athletisme/Actualites/Le-meeting-ligue-de-diamant-ne-sera-plus-organise-au-stade-de-france/697147 http://www.supersport.com/athletics/international/news/160620/New_venue_for_Paris_Diamond_League So it seems that the next (and last) athletics meeting at the Stade de France will take place in August 2024 (if Paris is chosen). Wonder if this decision to move athletics from a 80000 seats stadium to a 20000 seats stadium (Charlety stadium) can have a negative impact on the IOC decision... Confirmation that there will be no more athletics at the Stade de france (except for the Games in 2024). The european athletics championships will take place at the Charlety stadium in 2020.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-4455004/Paris-host-2020-European-Athletics-Championships.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
