Parisians are organizing a protest against the Paris Olympics by planning to defecate in the River Seine on June 23. The event, promoted on social media, aims to highlight opposition to using taxpayer funds to clean up the river for the Olympics, despite ongoing efforts to make it swimmable again. The protest is set amidst preparations for the 2024 Paris Olympics, where 40,000 meals are expected to be distributed daily, with French fries notably absent from the menu.
