The president of the organizing committee for the Paris Olympics, Tony Estanguet, said Wednesday he was "a little surprised" by the study by an NGO expressing alarm at the quality of the water in the river where the games are to be held. Olympic events this summer.
The NGO Surfrider Foundation warned on Monday of the “alarming” state of the waters of the Seine after carrying out a six-month sampling campaign, outside the period planned for swimming.
“I was a little surprised that we were doing a study on water qualities in the middle of winter, times when the rivers are not in a state that allows swimming,” commented Tony Estanguet, interviewed on the subject during a press conference.
“It was never a question of wanting to swim in the Seine during the winter, the objective, already, is to succeed in being able to swim during the summer and everything is done to ensure that this is the case next summer,” he said. “We are moving forward with serenity,” he stressed.
The Minister of Sports and Olympics, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, said on Tuesday that she was “confident” in “the objective of reducing bacteriological pollution of the Seine by 75%”.
The Paris town hall and the regional prefecture, at the head of the steering committee of the plan in which the State and the communities have injected 1.4 billion euros to make the river swimmable, recalled Monday that five major works in front of to ensure a clean Seine in summer will be operational “within a few weeks”.
Analyzes carried out by Surfrider show concentrations of E.coli regularly higher than 2,000 cfu/100 ml (maximum of 7,250 under the Alma bridge on February 7) and 500 cfu/100 ml for enterococci (maximum of 1,190 to the same date).
Analyzes sent to AFP at the end of 2023 by the town hall had already shown that between June and September 2023, none of the 14 Parisian water sampling points had reached a sufficient level of quality with regard to European directives.
