ER Editor: The Olympic embarrassments just don’t stop. Paris is one of the globalist C40 cities with mayor Anne Hidalgo (pictured above) a good old socialist. It has imposed roadworks, one-way systems and 50%-reduced car traffic throughout much of the city in the name of ‘climate’, only to produce heavily congested traffic, very long travel times and more polluted city air. You couldn’t make this up.
Seriously, in what universe does a heavily polluted river suddenly become acceptable to swim in?
In shocking / utterly predictable news, an Olympic swimming event has been cancelled because the Seine is too polluted.
Yes, apparently, a river that recently looked like this might have more than just water in it…#jechiedanslaseine #Paris2024 pic.twitter.com/My6NOY2jLK

#Seine E coli
After spending $1.5 Billion to clean the Seine River, the E. coli levels are currently too high and unsafe for humans. The first event in the river is scheduled for Tuesday. BRING ON THE BLEACH pic.twitter.com/vcwe7TkHih

Translation: On July 17, when Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo bathed in the Seine, water pollution was high. This is what the France Info radio station reported, referring to information from the town hall. According to the radio, the level of E. coli and enterococci in the water that day exceeded the authorized thresholds. France Info reminds that in this case, swimming is considered dangerous and can cause gastroenteritis and skin diseases. A week before Hidalgo, the Minister of Sports Amélie Oudéa-Castéra had bathed in the Seine. And until the end of June 2024, experts have sounded the alarm about high levels of “faecal bacteria”, including E. coli, in the water.

Olympic Event In Seine River Cancelled Due To Poor Water-Quality, Days After Mayor Swam To Prove Its Cleanliness
It was just days ago we wrote that Paris’ mayor was going swimming in the Seine to dispel rumors that the water was too dirty for athletes to use.
How quickly the (sh*t filled) tide has turned.
Questions about the Seine River’s water quality have persisted into the 2024 Olympics, leading to the cancellation of a pre-race triathlon event on Sunday, according to the New York Post.
Organizers scrapped the swimming leg after a meeting with World Triathlon and local authorities about water quality tests.
We noted weeks ago that swimming in the Seine has been banned for over a century and since 2015, organizers have invested $1.5 billion to prepare the river for the Olympics and ensure a cleaner Seine for Parisians post-Games.
This plan included building a massive underground water storage basin in central Paris, renovating sewer infrastructure, and upgrading wastewater treatment plants.
Originally planned for June, Hidalgo’s swim was delayed due to snap parliamentary elections. During that time, the hashtag “jechiedanslaSeine” (“I’m pooping in the Seine”) trended on social media as a protest against the Olympics.
Previous attempts to clean the Seine, including a pledge by former French president Jacques Chirac in 1988, were unsuccessful. Hidalgo followed French Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, who swam in the Seine on Saturday wearing a full-body suit.
Concerns about the Seine’s flow and pollution levels continue, leading to daily water quality tests by Eau de Paris. Early June tests showed unsafe E. coli levels, but results in July seemed to have improved heading into the opening ceremony.
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo took a swim in the Seine River earlier this month in an effort to prove the “long-polluted” river was now clean enough to host swimming during this year’s Olympic Games.
Earlier this year the water showed unsafe levels of E. coli bacteria, AP reported.
During her swim she was joined by swimmers from local clubs, Paris 2024 chief Tony Estanguet and the top government official for the Paris region, Marc Guillaume, the report says.
Hidalgo said during the swim: “The Seine is exquisite. The water is very, very good. A little cool, but not so bad.’’
She called the day “a dream” and a “testimony that we have achieved a lot of work”.
More like a testimony of the efficiency of government…
