The Minister of Sports Amélie Oudéa-Castéra had little appreciation for the mockery of the Enfoirés in their sketch on the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. "We have to take this with humor”, she said she declared this Sunday March 3 on the sidelines of the Paris half-marathon, keen to put an end to the controversy. 

"You have to take this with distance and with humor", declared the Minister of Sports and Olympic Games, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, at the microphone of RMC this Sunday. On the sidelines of the Paris half-marathon, the minister reacted to the mocking sketch of Les Enfoirés on the Paris 2024 Olympics.

"It's going to be a huge mess all summer"

On the occasion of its traditional show broadcast this Friday, March 1 on TF1 for the benefit of Restos du Coeur, the Enfoirés troupe had reserved a sequence for the organization of the sporting event, evoking in particular the problem of transport. 

"The Olympics, stuck in the metro", "It's okay be a huge mess all summer, we're going to experience hell on foot, at the checkout, in the RER, welcome to the Paris Olympics", sang Mikaeël Youn and his band. The Enfoirés also attacked the prices of tickets for the competition: "I rented my studio for 1 400 euros. You had to go into debt to buy just one small ticket, more than 1,000 euros for taekwondo.

A "shit message"

A widely commented sequence which was not unanimous, like the former player of the XV of France Denis Charvet,& ;nbsp;who denounced a "shit message". 

"Is this my favorite sketch in the entire history of Les Enfoirés? I don't wouldn't say that", commented for her part Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, keen to put an end to the controversy, this Sunday. &amp ;quot;As Minister of the Games, we will do everything to ensure that these concerns are allayed and that we manage to make them lie, both on the organization and the medals&quot ;.

Aware of the fears of the French around the organization, the minister remains convinced of the success of these Olympics and affirms "We all I want it to go well and it will go well. We are on time, there is no need to worry. We are deeply at work.
