The hangover will be tough. With Sunday&#8217;s closing ceremony drawing a line under the sporting spectacle, President Emmanuel Macron must now deal with a self-created political crisis that he swept under the carpet until the Games were over. Talks over government jobs and budget cuts loom &#8211; with voter anger sure to follow.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now we have to wake up from this beautiful dream,&#8221; said Christine Frant, 64, at the Club France fan zone last weekend. &#8220;Such a shame we&#8217;re going to return to our day-to-day routine, with no government, squabbles in parliament, while here it was all about joy, sharing.&#8221; Macron seemed to cast the entire fate of the Olympics into doubt when he called a snap legislative election just weeks before the Games were due to begin. Voters delivered a hung parliament.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing a prime minister who can appease Macron&#8217;s centrist camp, a leftist alliance and the far-right National Rally has proven tricky. After days of political dealmaking that went nowhere after the July 7 vote, Macron declared a political truce for the duration of the Games, giving himself until around mid-August to name a prime minister and let political parties negotiate. The mysterious sabotage on railway and telecoms targets at the start of the Games seemed like an ominous portent, but after that, the event carried on with no further security scares.<\/p>\n<p>Macron decamped to his presidential retreat on the French Riviera, with a few incursions into Paris, including for a long hug with French judo titan Teddy Riner after he clinched his fourth career gold.<br \/>\nWhile many in France followed the tribulations of the Lebruns, two ping-pong-playing brothers, or cheered on star swimmer Leon Marchand, French politicians have been plotting a way out of the crisis. He has ignored the candidate painstakingly agreed on by the left-wing alliance, the New Popular Front, which came on top in the elections but has so far made no overtures to other parties to garner a majority. Despite efforts to bolster her profile with media interviews, the chosen candidate Lucie Castets remains a political unknown. &#8220;Who is she?&#8221; said Zahera Dakkar, 40, after watching the volleyball final at Club France. &#8220;I haven&#8217;t followed politics for two weeks. The Games were an escape from all that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/frances-beautiful-dream-fades-games-give-way-political-crisis-2024-08-12\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/frances-beautiful-dream-fades-games-give-way-political-crisis-2024-08-12\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/frances-beautiful-dream-fades-as-games-give-way-to-political-crisis\/\">France&#8217;s &#8216;beautiful dream&#8217; fades as Games give way to political crisis<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[5275,4958,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-132989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-olympics","tag-paris","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132989\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
