Macron’s complete inability to read the room. I first witnessed, over 60 years ago, the hate the French had for the Algerian immigrants. I imagine it’s worse now.
Notice how his behavior is all fake? Of course you do, but I'll point it out.
In the beginning, waving to people apparently on the rooftops. Photo op.
While being shouted at, delivering waves and fists of solidarity at the crowd. Photo op.
It's all handling and photo ops ready to be framed. A large, angry crowd looks like a supportive rally if you turn it into a carefully cropped photo still.
Looks more like he was trying to fake a positive attitude at first, then morphed into a smug attitude of him thinking these people cant do a damned thing about the position they are in, and he was arrogantly mocking them. that is my take.
100% ..framing is EVERYTHING...I thought the same when I watched it..you can tell by the Bodyguard's eyes and movements that this was not a friendly group...
50/50 odds this just because the French have been on the outs with most of their former Colonies of late.
Much like the U.K with the commonwealth.
Yeah...I thought of that as well..but there are thousands in the crowd..think there is more to it than just that..imho.
If anyone can speak Algerian Arabic (most likely) or maybe Berber..please let us know what they are saying..

All the world's a stage.

NCSWIC!! NOTHING!!
Looks like he's walking the streets just fine. Somehow, I don't think "they" will be deterred by mean words.
Yeah with 50 body guards
They do this with hundreds of thousands of people around them at one time.
Let's be realistic. If someone wanted Macron gone, he'd be gone and 50 bodyguards wouldn't save him.
