On September 24, 2023, “Dimanche en politique”, the political magazine of France 3, welcomes Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, Minister of Sports and the Olympic and Paralympic Games. She is questioned by Francis Letellier, with “carte blanche” to Nathalie Mauret, political journalist at the EBRA press group.
What is it like to be Minister of Sports at a time when France is organizing the Rugby World Cup and the Olympic and Paralympic Games at the same time? Can we just participate or do we have to bring home medals, and how many? If Emmanuel Macron is at the forefront, the Minister of Sports and Olympics Amélie Oudéa-Castéra is also the one on whom the pressure rests.
The challenges of the Games
The challenges of the Games are measured as much on a financial level as on a human and political level. Will they be a popular celebration or a spectacle for the privileged? What image of reception and organization in France will then be projected internationally? It will also be the place to combine the values of sport and safety. Nine months before the launch of the Olympic Games, and while France is trying out a dress rehearsal with the Rugby World Cup, the minister answers questions from Francis Letellier.
Faced with the economic difficulties that the French are experiencing, and faced with the tragedies linked to harassment at school and in sport, she explains how to adapt these issues to her field.
