Luis Alfonso de Borbón had a good time this past weekend when writing about the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Carmen Martínez Bordiú’s son did not like at all the spectacle that the committee organized along the six kilometers of the Seine River, in the heart of the French capital, as he expressed in an article that Sunday newspaper published on Sunday, two days after the ceremony. However, it is all a matter of taste. And if not, just look at the new cover of Point of view.
The prestigious French weekly has been full of praise when commenting on the opening of the 33rd edition of the Olympic Games. This is how they announce their new issue on their social networks: “Twelve paintings, 3,000 dancers and artists, 85 boats to travel 6 km of river to the unprecedented apotheosis of a flaming hot air balloon flying over the City of Light… “The numbers alone will never be enough to sum up the spectacular show directed by the prodigy Thomas Jolly, whose images, admired throughout the world, have already become part of history.”
On the cover they add an image of the ceremony in which, next to the Eiffel Tower, they appear King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia with Frederik of Denmark and Mary Donaldson. Next to these representatives of the European monarchy also pose Albert and Charlènne of MonacoThey couldn’t be missing Celine Dionwho cancelled her concert tour to treat her illness, stiff-person syndrome, but did perform at the sporting event. The artist shared her spotlight at the Games with Zinedine Zidanewho handed over the Olympic torch to Rafael Nadal.

The anger of Luis Alfonso de Borbón
“As Head of the House of Bourbon, as a descendant of the forty Kings who made France, I cannot remain silent in the face of the devastating spectacle of part of the inaugural ceremony.. While during this period artistic and technical performances were at the height of what France is, some took pleasure in distilling a deadly and abject ideological content,” noted Franco’s great-grandson in his article, who also shared these words on his social networks.
“Once again, the current regime has shown its true face, deeply anti-Christian, forgetful of France’s long past of which the Christian monarchy is a part, and eager to bring to the top turbulent times when only terror and violence reigned,” he added. And he said that “although the ceremony was intended to be inclusive and respectful of all, The Catholic religion and the dead were marked with the seal of infamy and mockery”“I refuse to allow France to conform to the model that was presented to it. Our country is better than blood and screeching burlesque.”
“Before being the mother of revolutions and unbridled progressivism, France was the eldest daughter of the Church as well as the homeland of Letters, the Arts and refinement,” continues Luis Alfonso. “It is increasingly up to us, the French, to choose the model we want for France. We must rebuild our beloved homeland and build a solid and credible future, anchored in traditions, respect and unity.”.
