More political than artistic, the criticism emerged on the social network X, formerly twitter.
Among those who reacted immediately, the head of the list of the nationalist party “Reconquête” in the European elections, Marion Marechal Le Pen:
“Why did you erase the cross on top of the Apomachi dome? Why not a French flag? What’s the point of hosting the Olympics in France if it’s to hide who we are?’
Her opponent in Les Républicains, Francois Javier Bellamy, denounced those who “are ready to deny France to the point of distorting reality in order to invalidate her history”, focusing on the cross which “constitutes the deep meaning”.
This dome “is not that of a supermarket but of a chapel,” added MP and president of Gaullist The Republicans, Eric Ciotti, for whom the poster “rejects the very identity of this building as well as French history.”

Jordan Bardela, president of the Rassemblement national and head of his party’s list for June’s European elections, accused “the contempt for our tricolor flag, the “cancellation of our Christian heritage, the great erasure of our identity “, he added.
The work of the illustrator Hugo Gattoni is “scandalous”, said Nicolas Dupont Aignan, judging that “France dishonors itself by denying its history and culture”.
