The Paris Olympics are in full swing. The event has captured the world's attention and has been mired in controversy from the outset. It all began with the opening ceremony, which differed markedly from those seen in the past. One segment of the ceremony, titled "Festivite," was deemed offensive to the religious feelings of Catholics by some. The DJ involved became a target of attacks and received death threats.
Nevertheless, the controversy surrounding the opening event didn’t end there. World media took great interest in photos from the welcome of the French President and the Minister of Sports, in which you can see... their kiss.
