“Yesterday I received an official letter from the organizing committee, which said that the French authorities did not approve my application as a volunteer for the Olympics. I contacted more than 20 Russians with whom I went to more than one Olympics and who also submitted volunteer applications. All these people with extensive experience also received a refusal.
The organizing committee wrote to me that it did not know the reasons why the French authorities rejected my application. “Paris 2024”, in accordance with the French Code of Internal Security, sent all my data for verification to the appropriate administrative authority. And only after his approval could I receive volunteer accreditation. But, unfortunately, my application was rejected.
I am very upset that I received a refusal. Taking into account the fact that very few volunteers from Russia went to the Olympics in past years, I think that all applicants with Russian passports received the same letters yesterday,” said one of the applicants who received a written refusal from the Paris 2024 organizing committee. .
The Olympic Games will be held in Paris from July 26 to August 11. According to the organizers’ plans, about 45 thousand volunteers should be involved in the competition.
