Sport unites in diversity – and so does our Union!    The #Paris2024 Olympic Games officially kick off tonight, with the Paralympics to follow, for a sensational summer of sport until September 8.   The Olympics are promoting a more inclusive and sustainable society through worldwide cooperation, values also shared by the EU.  🇪🇺 countries are ready to carry this spirit into the competition. May the best win! 📷 AdobeStock  1. Tour Eiffel with the Olympic rings of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games by kovalenkovpetr  2. View of the Louvre Museum with Louvre Pyramid by Netfalls  3.

During the Olympic Games all wars stopped in the past...as long as they last. What about today? Why the international diplomacy is unable to create peace even for a month? Its a shame to the spirit of the games and the history of humanity!

The 33rd Olympics officially starts tonight with the opening ceremony. Paris welcomes the Olympics for the 3rd time- after 1900 (together with the Universal Exhibition), and 1924 in times of economic, political and social issues. The opening ceremony is exceptional as for the first time, this is outdoors, along the Seine river, the best scenery any director would dream of. The storytelling is suggested by a team of artists (director, choregraph, musician, dancers, stylist...) together with key people, the President of the Committee of organisation, a former champion in canoe kayak, and professionals specialising in exceptional events. 100 000 spectators will attend the ceremony, 1billion through television. The team of organisers was also supported by a scenarist, novelists and historian at the College de France, to celebrate the most inspiring event organised in Paris since 1989 - the 200 years of the French revolution (and first French republic), a touchstone for French Republican values. This is not by chance if the ceremony is entitled Revolution. Best wishes for all the actors and spectators of the XXXIII rd issue of the Olympics in Paris- Citius, Altius, Fortius... We will be all United in diversity, the European motto

In Bucharest, România, in the Piața Progresul neighbourhood, ne-ar the tramway station, near the zebra marks, an electric cable Falls almost in the ground. It is just a mattet of days until a car and it's driver or a Man or woman will be electrocuted, touched by that electric cable/ electric wire. Please ask the Bucharest city hall major and the sector 5 major why they never see this probleme? Why they never rezolve it?

It's just that some diversities are not considered equal to others.

Thanks for sharing I experienced the transformation of Barcelona for the 1992 Olympic Games, contributing to the construction of road safety infrastructures. This joint effort showcased how sports can unite and transform cities. I am confident that #Paris2024 will continue this tradition, fostering a more inclusive and sustainable society. Let’s go for more unity and collaboration! Pepe Betancort Egea, Founder Global3CCS
