Highlights: “What’s wrong with the drama queens upstairs?”: Yann Barthès makes fun of the controversy over the Olympic poster. “On paper, it was supposed to be positive, colorful and festive but they (the organizers of the 2024 Olympics) forgot one detail: we are in France,” he quipped. The Olympic Games charter underlines, in its article 50, that “no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is authorized in a place, site or other Olympic location”


Since Monday, the revelation of the official posters for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games has sparked lively debates. A situation which amused the host of “Quotidien”, who referred to the commentators on the CNews channel, installed in the same premises as him.

In the mountain of details of these posters, the TMC host showed that in several places, the French flag was present.

“There are plenty of them, you just have to look

,” he underlines before singling out political figures who have expressed the same criticisms such as Marion Maréchal, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, Éric Zemmour and even Jordan Bardella.

“On paper, it was supposed to be positive, colorful and festive but they

(the organizers of the 2024 Olympics, editor’s note)

forgot one detail: we are in France

,” quipped Yann Barthès on Wednesday evening in a new topic devoted to this controversy on the posters.

“We could have laughed about it except that we must admit: CNews won.

This controversy created from scratch by the neighbors above has won since, seeing that it is taking hold, BFMTV has taken a dive,”

he added before mocking this race for controversy on the part of the two news channels .

“The Olympic Games are in 142 days, if CNews is willing

,” he concluded.
