With eleven days remaining before the second round of the French presidential election, the campaign is in full swing between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen. A video has gone viral of Macron debating a citizen during a Presidential campaign stop in Châtenois. At first, the President had the upper hand in the verbal spar. The tide quickly shifted as the citizen verbally annihilated Macron and his destructive policies and lies.
Watch the following exchange:
Read the following French article by the news site FranceSoir about Macron’s embarrassing confrontation:
“Never seen a president as bad as you”: Emmanuel Macron was taken to task while on the campaign trail in Alsace.
Emmanuel Macron was strongly attacked in Châtenois (Bas-Rhin) during his campaign stops between the two elections France holds to pick a new president. During his day of campaigning between the two rounds, which ended yesterday with a meeting in Strasbourg, the candidate who came out on top in the first round, Emanuel Macron, once again clashed with a man who harshly challenged him, calling him a “manipulator.”
The President of the Republic does not hesitate to be in close contact with the French people and proves it to the great displeasure of his entourage sometimes. In fact, each trip is punctuated by an altercation with one of his compatriots. It was on the sidelines of his trip to Châtenois (Bas-Rhin), where he was talking about local security, promising to “double the police force in rural areas”, that the president was scolded by a very upset pensioner.
The exchange, captured by Sami Sfaxi, a journalist covering the trip for CNews, is tense but not devoid of substance, although Emmanuel Macron tried to reduce his interlocutor’s remarks to mere insubstantial insults, without a basis in argument, aggressive and catch-all.
“I have nothing to complain about. You’re for retirement at 65 years, I took it at 65 years, but by choice and not by obligation,” attacked the man who challenged him before dropping on the President: “I have never seen a president of the Fifth Republic as bad as you.” Emmanuel Macron sarcastically thanked him, “I thank you for having plenty of arguments to put on the table,” and invoked his desire for debate: “in a democracy, we can debate, but if you have ready-made ideas and you do not want to debate, we can not get there …“
Attacked on his health policy, an under-represented theme in this campaign in view of the last two years, but which regularly pops up while walking through crowds, the candidate answers to the criticism of the suppression of “5700 beds” that “we put back 11 billion per year into hospitals”.
Macron’s challenger disregards his statement pointing out the policy previous to his mandate: “the system comes from far” (before Macron’s term).
“I respect you”, said the President of the Republic. His opponent immediately replied, “I also respect you, but I will not vote for you”. “I never voted Marine Le Pen, I gave you a reprieve in 2017, but I will not a second time”.
He cites the Benalla affairs, Alexis Kohler (secretary-general of the Élysée), for which Macron mocks him: “you mix up a lot in your head”, then pointing out that these are “not arguments”, but “topics that go in all directions”. “You confuse a lot of things,” Emmanuel Macron mocks the voter further.
The voter Calls Macron out for his contempt: “You’re Machiavellian, you’re manipulative and you’re a liar on top of that,” the man expressed further. “Any facts?”, replies the president. “We were taken for less than nothing, lazy, refractory Gauls,” the man adds… who views Emmanuel Macron as a “refractory Gaul” in the mirror.
“But are you crazy or what?”, he exclaims when he is accused of having “murdered the hospital”. “You’re a real chameleon, Mr. President”. “I answer you, look at the facts”, explaining the situation when he was elected – and forgetting that before the Covid years and under his mandate, the hospitals were already in a critical situation, with exhausted caregivers who tried to alert the public with strikes and demonstrations. “My GP, my dentist was fired, the liberal nurses in our villages, they were fired.”… “But not by me, it is the Orders that got them fired” “And who gave the orders?”, the pensioner says, before stressing that “it is a scandal”.
A stormy exchange that could be considered non-constructive, but symptomatic of the dialogue that has become impossible. It reveals the main grievances that stick to the president’s campaign (largely ignored until now). It is the fear of a breakup of the French social model and the loss of dignified living conditions, the health policy, the affairs of his entourage, and the trial of contempt. The video has gone viral, quickly exceeding one million views. It also reveals the dimension of Emmanuel Macron’s five-year term. Many French people have shown their support to the man who challenged Emmanuel Macron, recognizing themselves in his words. Will Marine Le Pen, an opponent of the outgoing president in the second round, take up the debate?

Voter
I’ve never seen a president as bad as you in the Fifth Republic.
Macron
Oh, why, thank you! I have to thank you! Of course!
Thank you for bringing plenty of arguments to the table.
Voter
Yes.
Macron
I’m ready for a debate as you can see, but you don’t have much. Why?
Voter
Am I not allowed to complain?
Crowd
Macron for President! Macron for President!
Voter
You’re for retirement at 65 years.
Oh no. I retired at 65, but that was my choice. It wasn’t an obligation.
Macron
I’m going to go. I’m going. I’m going, but I just have to say, in a democracy, we can debate,
but if you have ready-made ideas and you do not want to debate, we cannot get there.
Voter
So what do you want to debate about?
Macron
About the hospitals, I sent them funds. It’s documented everywhere.
Voter
To the hospitals? —
Macron
The hospitals. We gave, we gave, I gave 11 billion a year.
Voter
Of course.
Macron
—11 billion.
Voter
Yes, yes.
Macron
11 billion for the salaries.
Voter
So that’s why the 5,700 hospital beds were removed at the beginning of 2021.
Macron
No, the system.
Voter
No sir, it’s not true.
Macron
—The system has come a long way.
Voter
Oh, OK, well. That was afterward. The doctors and the hospitals had a minute of silence to protest not having enough funding even before you were elected.
Macron
Thank you for pointing out that happened before me. I respect you, even though you are being very critical and aggressive.
Voter
—I respect you as well, but I will never vote for you.
Macron
—I hear you, but you simply have no arguments.
Voter
Oh no? What about all the affairs that surround you, like Benalla? Oh, the assaulter.
(MSC) Mediterranean Shipping Company, with Kohler, your little buddy.
Macron
That’s enough. You, you mix up a lot in your head.
Voter
Sure, I have a lot arguments to bring up.
Macron
Those aren’t arguments, it’s a bunch of different ideas going in all directions.
Voter
Oh yeah, of course.
Macron
—You see, I give everything for all my co-patriots.
Voter
I’m going to seek mental help now.
Macron
In my opinion… Don’t say that, because there are people who actually mentally ill.
In any case, you’re mixing up a lot of things. I say this with utmost respect.
In a democratic debate, if everything is mixed up, it gets more complicated.
Let’s have this discussion together. You have something to say?
Voter
You’re Machiavellian, you’re manipulative and you’re a liar on top of that.
I’m not afraid to say what I think. I never voted for Marine Le Pen.
I gave you a reprieve in 2017, but I won’t a second time.
Macron
You need to have facts to say that.
Voter
—Yes.
Macron
—What are the facts?
Voter
We were taken for less than nothing. Lazy, Refractory Gauls.
Macron
I’m a Refractory Gaul?
Voter
—Yes, yes, you’re a Refractory Gaul.
Macron
What are the issues…
Voter
The Health Passport and the hospitals, Mr. Macron!
Macron
—What are the things you have problems with?
Voter
—You murdered in the hospitals.
Macron
—Are you crazy or what?
Voter
—Yes, I’m crazy. Yes, I’m crazy. I’m going to the loony bin; it’s not far from here.
The health passport, Mr. Macron.
Macron
—Just a moment, I’m coming.
Crowd
Macron for President! Macron for President!
Voter
You’re a real chameleon, Mr. President.
Macron
—I’ll answer you, show me the facts.
Voter
—Oh yes.
Macron
Sir, let’s look at the facts. The hospitals, since I was elected,
each year we reduced the number of those hospitalized.
Voter
—Yes, yes.
Macron
—OK?
Voter
My doctor was fired. My dentist was fired. The medical workers from our villages, they were fired.
That’s not normal.
Macron
—They weren’t fired by me.
Voter
—Oh no?
Wasn’t it you who made the decision to require the vaccine?
Without the Vaccine Passport, they’re fired. That’s normal?
Now you’re looking for doctors and medical workers.
Macron
—Of course, they resigned.
Voter
You forced them. Are you going to hire them back? Are you going to hire them back?
Macron
Sir, it was the order that made them resign.
Voter
—Yes, of course, it was the order. It’s you that gave the order to the doctors. No, because…
That’s scandalous!
Macron
—Hold on, madame…
—No.
Macron, Merkel and her sucessor, Drug_ghi, Austria PM, Spain, Portugale, and many other european countries were all aboard the tyrannical WEF and corrupt WHO to impose a experimental shot and a fckng vaxpass in order to begin the new social control a la China Communist. Hopefully big crowds of europeans had experienced history in their skins and passed it to their offsprings the imperative behavior against nazis/facis/commies governments which rises times to times to enrich more the parasitic elites, but The People have and Trust God and maybe it will take time but again history will prove the masses are winners again and again and the elites in Europe and Asia and China will be crushed once more.
“Baud explained that once the heavy artillery shelling of the Donbas population accelerated in February, the DNR and LNR asked Russia for military intervention, proving that Ukraine actually started the war on February 16, days before Russia invaded, which was hidden by Western media.”
MACRON, TOGETHER WITH ZELENSKY ARE THE REAL WAR CRIMINALS AND TERRORISTS HERE, TOGETHER WITH ALL OTHER EU LEADERS!
PUTIN SHOULD BE AWARDED THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!
AND ZELENSKY, MACRON, MARIN, TRUDEAU AND ARDERN, SCHWAB, SOROS, GATES AND THE REST OF THOSE CRIMINALS THROWN IN JAIL OR BETTER HANGED FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!
I heard a very disturbing rumor and I checked it out…
The rumor comes from India and it concerned the sinking of the Moskva.
The rumor was that the Moskva was sunk with the help of Elon Musk Starlink Network.
Mychajlo Fedorow himself asked Elon Musk for help in the war in Ukraine something Elon Musk was eager to please.
So Elon Musk has helped Ukraine in an act of War against the Russian Federation with the help of the USA Government and the USA Military… what that means is that we are in the most dangerous of situations we all have ever been in.
We are facing a nuclear war.
The United States of America have openly declared War on the Russian Federation by supporting Elon Musk supporting Ukraine in an act of War against the Russian Federation.
Please share this information far and wide it is neither a joke nor fun.
It is a set up and it is WW3.

Papa Satan will take care of him.
LOVLY
Macron is a disgrace – just like every other liberal on this planet.
The voter doesn’t need to debate the clown Macron. Macron needs to convince him why he should vote for him. What a deceptive moron Macron is.
LIke in America, NOBODY voted for Josef Bitem. So it is in France. NOBODY voted for this Macroni.
