Protesters in Paris are ready for a defecation demonstration… claiming they are going to defecate in the famous Seine to show how disgusting it is!
Social media users talk online about large-scale plan to defecate in river after French president Emmanuel Macron and the mayor of Paris Ana Hidalgo He claimed it was safe enough to swim in.
Here’s the deal… a couple of months ago, water charity Surfrider Foundation Europe claimed it had tested the water in the Seine several times over the course of six months, from September 2023 to March 2024, and claims who found a surprising amount of bacteria in the water. .
In response, Macron, Hidalgo and other officials said they would get in the water and swim to prove how safe it is… and many started joking that they should turn the river into a latrine to prove their point.
Well… it seems that the joke has gotten a little out of hand, because now there is a website including a calculator to help people determine what time they should leave their excrement in the river so that it arrives in Paris at noon tomorrow if they live in the countryside.
Plus, influencers are talking about the protest as if it’s really going to break out… and they’re including snaps of the Sena which we must say looks pretty green.
Of course, this comes just weeks before the Paris Olympics… which have open water swimming events scheduled to cross the river. By the way, many in the city are angry that the Olympics are taking place, so this may end up being a widespread protest for angry Parisians.
