Olympic flags whipping in the Paris wind, Macron rallied France on New Year’s Eve. He didn’t talk resolutions, but unity. France, Olympic host, had to rise – economically, civicly – in 2024. This wasn’t medals and athletes, it was every citizen’s future.
But Macron was frank. He saw past reforms’ scars, riots’ echoes, and immigration’s sting. Yet, the Olympics, he roared, could forge a new France, unified and strong.
He echoed the late Euro-titan Jacques Delors: the coming elections mattered. Europe, hand in hand, or divided and lost?
This wasn’t just fireworks and cheers. It was Olympic spirit – courage, collaboration, beyond limits. France, baton gripped, would sprint to a brighter tomorrow, for all, beyond 2024.
Champagne popped, but it was France, reborn, taking off. The Olympics weren’t just a game; they were the starting line.
