Critics argue that the decision to keep the Olympic rings on the Eiffel Tower turns the iconic monument into an advertising space, which disrespects its historical significance.
Olivier Berthelot-Eiffel stated, 'The Eiffel Tower has become the symbol of Paris... adding an outside organization’s symbol permanently seems inappropriate to us.'
Mayor Hidalgo emphasized, 'I want to keep the rings... the decision is up to me,' reinforcing her authority despite public discontent.
The Association of Gustave Eiffel's Descendants asserted their discomfort: 'The Eiffel Tower should not become an advertising outpost,' highlighting cultural preservation concerns.
