Slovakia's deputy prime minister said he will not attend the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics over the controversial "Last Supper" parody during the opening of the games last week.
" The organizers of the Paris Olympics prepared for the world a show full of LGBT ideology and an insult to the symbols of Christianity ," Tomas Taraba said in a Facebook post on Sunday.
" I was supposed to represent Slovakia at the closing ceremony, but for the normal world, this Olympics will forever remain a symbol of degenerate decadence, which abused the beauty of sport and turned it into progressive political theater. That's why I decided not to participate in the closing ceremony ," he added.
The biblical scene evoking Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" with drag queens, a transgender model and a singer dressed as the Greek god of wine sparked outrage among Catholics, Christian groups and conservative politicians around the world for whom it it was a scene of mockery.
The parody has also caused criticism on social networks beyond the Catholic Church. In reactions, the action was, among other things, called "provocation", "anti-Christian", "disrespect" and "blasphemy".
