French President Emmanuel Macron criticised foreign leaders
for trying to exploit France's tense social climate
for their own political agenda.
In an apparent dig at US President Donald Trump,
Macron referenced those on the other side of the Atlantic,
accusing them of spreading false information for election gain.
For me, there is no foreign interference visible
in the events that have happened.
On the other hand, there is a foreign manipulation of information,
which gave rise to unacceptable and stupid comments from many,
including foreign leaders.
We saw images of artificial intelligence
that showed scenes that never happened in France.
We have people who explained that we had been invaded
by hordes of migrants and Islamists, which is totally false.
the unrest. Just look at what's happening in France,
a once great nation that is being conquered,
looted and burned to the ground by migrants,
jihadists and communists who hate Christianity
and they hate frankly the western civilization itself.
Several analysts have dismissed the claim
that migrants were driving France's protests.
Macron announced that he would convene an emergency
meeting with ministers and intelligence officials
on Thursday to obtain a detailed account of the
events last weekend, as his government recognized losing control
of the events of the situation.
