Emmanuel Macron says Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony could be changed in case of terrorism threat

French President Emmanuel Macron has said authorities will have an alternative plan in case of a terrorism threat at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony.

“If we think there are security risks, we’ll have plan B, and even plan C,” Macron said in an interview with CNN affiliate BFMTV from The Grand Palais in Paris, one of the Olympic sites, during a visit Monday to mark 100 days before the opening of the games.

Macron mentioned the option of “restricting the ceremony to the Paris Trocadero square facing the Eiffel Tower” or moving it to the Stade de France stadium.

The president added that authorities will put a security perimeter around the ceremony site days, if not weeks, before the start.
