Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo wants to keep the Olympic rings permanently on the Eiffel Tower and relocate the Paralympic Agitos symbol to the Champs-Élysées until 2028 – but not everyone’s cheering. 🎉➡️🤔
A Legacy in the Skyline?
Hidalgo argues preserving the iconic rings celebrates the \"spirit of the Games\" and Paris’ history, while moving the tri-colored Agitos (🌐⚡) to a high-traffic area boosts visibility for disability inclusion. But critics call it a branding overreach, with Gustave Eiffel’s descendants urging respect for the tower’s original design.
Debating History vs. Heritage
Supporters compare it to Tokyo’s preserved Olympic landmarks, while opponents ask: Should global event symbols define local identity? The clash mirrors wider debates about how cities balance fleeting moments of international attention with lasting cultural authenticity.
