Olympic Games 2024: The Baiona festivities, a stop?

  • It is possible that in 2024 the Baiona festivities will have to be held on another date, and there is a risk that it will be suspended, as most of the police who should be present in it will be at the Paris Olympic Games.

In total, some 45,000 policemen will participate in the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024, between 26 July and 11 August, as explained by French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin. Consequently, cultural and sporting events that are usually held on those dates "will be delayed or suspended".

The Baiona festivities bring together about one million people and for five days mobilize hundreds of police and gendarmes. They are held from 24 to 28 July in 2024, but the Olympic Games are likely to change the date. The Mayor of Baiona, René Etxegarai, has pointed out that it has never happened to suggest that there will be no life outside the Olympic Games, as the Minister of the Interior did. "For many of us, the Baiona parties are as important as the Games," said the mayor, according to France Bleu. Etxegarai is surprised because it appears that the consequences of the Games have now become aware of the Ministry of the Interior, although Paris has been a candidate for the 2024 Games for many years.
