Ciotti calls for Muselier's resignation over 2030 Winter Games roles

Nice Mayor and president of the Nice Côte D’Azur metropolis, Éric Ciotti, has formally requested Renaud Muselier, the president of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, to step down from his positions within the organizing committee for the 2030 Winter Olympics. This demand comes after the publication of an investigative report by Mediapart on July 15, titled "JO 2030: Renaud Muselier's Embarrassing Ski Resort in the United States." Ciotti reacted to the report on his social media, stating, "Everything is explained..." The animosity between Ciotti and Muselier is well-known in the Alpes-Maritimes department, but tensions escalated significantly after Nice withdrew its bid to host the Olympic ice events. Muselier had blamed Ciotti for the decision to move the ice competitions to Lyon. The two politicians have since engaged in a public war of words through media statements. In a letter dated July 17, addressed to the regional president, Ciotti called for Muselier's "inevitable" resignation from his roles as a member of the COJOP (Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games) and as co-president of Solideo (the company responsible for delivering Olympic facilities).
