France opposes diplomatic boycott of China Olympics

French President Emmanuel Macron is against a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics

The French leader also believes that the initiative by the US and several other countries to diplomatically boycott the Beijing Olympics has little effect.

“Let’s not politicise the Olympic movement and let’s first and foremost ensure that athletes around the world are protected and have independence”, –  the French president summed up.

Macron said he was in favour of working together with the International Olympic Committee to ensure that the provisions of the athlete protection charter are implemented.
