French President Emmanuel Macron backed the idea on Thursday of Franco-Malian singer Aya Nakamura performing at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, following criticism from conservatives about the prospect.
French singer Aya Nakamura arrives to appear in court for mutual abuses on partner with her former partner Vladimir Boudnikoff, in Bobigny, northeastern Paris, on January 26, 2023.
Macron said he backed the freedom of opening ceremony artistic director Thomas Jolly “to choose artists that represent France in its diversity, its influence, its arts and excellence.” “We need to have confidence in ourselves,” Macron told reporters. “Yes, there are risks, but there are risks in life and the best way to avoid risks is to do nothing. I dont think that’s the mission of the French nation.”
