According to a recent report by French 24-hour television, the French have had an unusual year in the 2024, with both the success of the Paris Olympics and the restoration of Notre Dame, then there was the political upheaval caused by Maqueron’s abrupt dissolution of the National Assembly, with the media summarising a string of “Key words” to reflect on the year.
The first of the key words is “Dissolve”, because it is so relevant to all French people: President Maqueron abruptly dissolved the National Assembly in June and has been locked in a left-centre, right-wing stalemate since the re-election, the hard-won government was quickly toppled, and the political turmoil is not over yet. Another key word, “Messy”, also points to French political chaos. The key word“Parade” refers to the theme song of the Paris Olympic Games, which has become a summer memory for many people. And“Notre-dame de Paris” refers to the notre-dame de Paris after 5 years of restoration, finally reopened at the end of the year.
