French President Emmanuel Macron has praised the success of the Olympic Games in Paris 2024, stating that the Games showed the world the true face of France.

He emphasized the importance of creating opportunities to show that arts can be commercialized in many areas.

Macron thanked law enforcement for keeping athletes and spectators safe and preventing hundreds of acts.

Despite incidents like an attack on French railways, the event was not marred.

However, the country will face deadlocked politics in the coming weeks due to Macron’s call for snap legislative elections.

The government of Macron allies, under Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, has continued to caretaker during the Games, but the country still lacks a new prime minister five weeks after the elections.
