Overview

  • Lawmakers began examining the Senate-adopted text on Monday under an accelerated timetable, with debate slated through Friday.
  • The draft would relax urban-planning constraints, expand urgent expropriation powers, and waive permits for temporary facilities to speed delivery of Alpine projects.
  • The proposal codifies a state backstop for any organizing committee deficit, responding to the International Olympic Committee’s demand for a financial guarantee.
  • Security provisions added by senators include a trial of algorithmic cameras through 2027 and a new, permanent regime of event-specific exclusion orders.
  • Local resistance and organizational strains persist, with Savoie suspending its participation and the Cojop operations director resigning as some resorts like La Plagne cite existing venues and limited renovations.
