Last Monday, 7 people were arrested in Paris (France), where the Olympic Games are being held, while they were traveling with a bus from the CitizenGO platform that was demanding an end to the attacks against Christians.
The protest action is related to the blasphemous mockery of the Last Supper that was part of the opening of Paris 2024 and which sparked great controversy that even led to an official statement from the Vatican.

On the bus, a website is also advertised where more than 384,000 people They have joined the protest before the authorities of the International Olympic Committee in defense of the rights of believers.
As reported by the international organization in defense of human rights, the vehicle, vinyl with the motto in English Stop attacks on christians (Stop the attacks against Christians), was intercepted by agents of the French Gendarmerie “at gunpoint.”
The six members of CitizenGO, along with the bus driver, “were transferred from one police station to another, being treated in a humiliating manner and deprived of communication with the outside world,” according to a statement sent to the media.
After removing the vehicle from circulation, CitizenGO reports that the Parisian Prosecutor’s Office began proceedings against the detainees, although on Tuesday afternoon, almost 24 hours later, they were informed “that they are not going to file charges against them.”
For CitizenGO, this event is “extremely serious” and represents “a new attack on religious freedom and Christians, just as happened at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.”
CitizenGO: “Woke governments are becoming increasingly totalitarian”
The president of CitizenGO, the Spanish Ignacio Arsuaga, has announced that they are going to file a lawsuit against the president of the Republic of France, Emmanuel Macron, the country’s Attorney General’s Office and the Gendarmerie.
Arsuaga denounces that “the governments woke are becoming more and more totalitarian” and that what the members of their organization have suffered reveals “that the ideology woke “it intends to end Christian symbols.” In this sense, he recalled that “the same thing is happening in Spain with the threats of the Government (of Spain) to the Valley of the Fallen and the Cross biggest in the world”.
“The Paris Olympic Games will be remembered for their constant offense to Christianity and faith, to the founding values of Europe and the West,” stressed Arsuaga, who maintains that “what happened in Paris motivates us to reinforce the defense of the Valley of the Fallen.” ”.
