Video of Booing Against Macron Not From Paris 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony

Misbar investigated the claim and found it to be misleading. The video actually depicts jeering during President Macron's speech at the opening ceremony of the 2023 Rugby World Cup, not at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Jeering During Macron’s Rugby World Cup Opening Ceremony Speech

During Macron's opening speech at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, fans expressed their discontent with boos and whistles. French news reports attribute this reaction primarily to widespread dissatisfaction with pension reforms and a general mistrust of authorities and officials.

France hosted the Rugby World Cup for the second time in 2023, having previously done so in 2007. The tournament, which took place from September 8 to October 28, spanned nine French cities and featured 20 teams competing in 48 matches, with a total of 660 players from across the globe.

Paris 2024 Olympics

After 16 days of thrilling competition, the 33rd edition of the Olympic Games in Paris ended on Sunday, August 11, 2024, following its opening on July 26, 2024.

The closing ceremony took place on August 11 at the Stade de France, attended by President Emmanuel Macron, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach, and a substantial crowd of fans. After the Olympics wrapped up, Macron described the closing ceremony to L'Équipe as 'fantastic, brimming with boldness and French spirit." He remarked, 'Those who doubted the games were mistaken, both in terms of organization and sport."
