The French Republic has been making headlines recently due to various events, such as the preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, including a unique six-kilometer parade down the River Seine. Security concerns have also been raised in light of the upcoming event. Additionally, there have been reports of a pro-Kremlin network called "Doppelganger" buying Facebook ads to spread divisive content ahead of the EU election. Furthermore, the French capital is said to be pulling out all the stops for the upcoming events, despite challenges like potential delays in the triathlon event due to poor water quality in the River Seine.
