The organizers of the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games apologized for the satirical display of the painting "The Last Supper" at the opening ceremony, which sparked a great negative reaction and widespread criticism.
After three days of criticism, an official response appeared from the organizer of the Paris Olympic Games ceremony, in which it regretted all the controversy that was raised.
The Portuguese newspaper "A BOLA" quoted the apology of Anne Descamps, the spokeswoman for the Paris 2024 Games, who said: "It is clear that there was absolutely no intention to disrespect any religious group, on the contrary, I think that with Thomas Joly (director of the ceremony), we really tried to celebrate the tolerance of society."
Al-Azhar Al-Sharif also condemned these scenes that topped the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, and sparked widespread global anger, as they depicted Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, in an image that offended his noble person, and the lofty status of prophecy, and in a barbaric and reckless manner that does not respect the feelings of believers in religions, morals and high human values.
