In June 2021, he was slapped by a certain Damien Tarel, during his trip to Tain-l’Hermitage (Drôme). As he begins his second term, re-elected President Emmanuel Macron was the subject of new hostilities on Wednesday. At lunchtime, he visited the Cergy-Pontoise market in Val-d’Oise.
Attention, “projectile”
And the Head of State, who went to meet the inhabitants, was the target of tomato throws. His close guard reacted very quickly by shouting “projectile” before deploying an umbrella over his head to shelter him. Images released by BFM TVwhere we see that the fruits were thrown in the direction of Emmanuel Macron, without touching him.

This is Emmanuel Macron’s first trip since his re-election last Sunday. So as not to spoil the event, he therefore resumed his visit very shortly after the incident, declaring “no fight“, to those around him.
“I want to move on and try to reconcile“
Faced with this hostility, he said, “I want to move on and try to reconcile” and promised: “I will be in popular neighborhoods throughout the mandate“. Finally, on his choice of Prime Minister, Emmanuel Macron announced: “I will appoint someone attached to the social, environmental and productive issue“.
