This narrative pushed online utilizes images of previous riots in Paris, and includes several hashtags such as #Paris2024 and #BoycottParis24.<\/p>\n<p>The use of hashtags reveals a clear motive to propagate and amplify claims through social media. Additionally, the \u201cBoycott Paris 2024\u201d narrative also attempts to present French citizens as \u201cvictims of growing Islamophobia, discriminatory aggressions as well as a fascist drift driven by the government\u201d. The goal of this narrative is to justify the alleged need to boycott the upcoming Olympic Games.<\/p>\n<p>Boutboul added that this narrative also leveraged the recent murder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-66052104\" target=\"_blank\">Nahel Merzouk<\/a> \u2014 a French 17-year-old of Moroccan and Algerian descent who was killed by a police officer in June 2023 \u2014 as well as the large-scale violent demonstrations that followed his death.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMeanwhile, other posts circulated links to online petitions to relocate the event.
