Notre-lady shines again: Macron celebrates the reopening!
In a glamorous spectacle, the world celebrated the reopening of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris on Saturday evening! Five years after the devastating fire, which almost collapsed the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the head of state from all over the world flocked to the French capital to attend this historical moment.
The doors of the venerable cathedral were solemnly opened by Archbishop Laurent Ulrich, while President Emmanuel Macron welcomed the assembled guests with moving words. "Tonight I stand here to thank the French nation-thanks to everyone who saved, helped, helped and rebuilt Notre-lady," Macron called into the crowd. "The bells from Notre-Dame will ring again this evening!"
a symbol of hope
The 2019 fire had wrapped the 12th century old Gothic cathedral in flames and had massive clouds of smoke over Paris. Hundreds of firefighters bravely fought the flames and the world held their breath. After the inferno, almost $ 1 billion in donations from all over the world flowed to support the reconstruction work.
The cathedral now shines in new splendor! With a new tower, artistic vaults and the famous flying buttresses that shine again in their old splendor, Notre-Dame is a true masterpiece of restoration. The white stones and gold decorations sparkle again and attract attention.
The applause for the firefighters who fought tirelessly during the fire fighting was particularly moving. The word "Merci" shone on the facade of the cathedral - a big thank you to those who helped in the hour of need.political tensions and diplomacy
While the celebrations were in full swing, a political crisis over Macron hovered. The parliament had deducted its prime minister just a few days earlier. Some observers suspect that the reopening of the cathedral was a way for Macron to distract from political turbulence. "It was an opportunity for Macron to have the last diplomatic conversations," said Al Jazera journalist Natacha Butler.
The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj and US President Donald Trump, who took his first trip abroad, were among those present. Selenskyj described the meeting with Macron and Trump as "good and productive". "We all want this war to end as soon as possible and in a fair way," said Selenskyj.The reopening of Notre-Dame is not only a triumph of architecture, but also a sign of hope and cohesion in difficult times. The world looks at Paris and recognizes the power of the community and reconstruction!
