This Wednesday, June 28, 2023, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron were present in the stands of the Accor Hotel Arena in Paris to attend the concert of the famous British singer, composer and pianist, Elton John. An event at the end of which the President of the Republic and his wife had the opportunity to meet the artist. Proud to have been able to converse with the Head of State, David Furnish, husband of the interpreter of the tube I’m Still Standing, therefore immortalized the moment. It was on his Instagram account that the filmmaker shared the controversial snapshot of him with his husband and the Macron couple with a smile on his face. “Backstage in Paris”, he wrote in the caption. A photo that our colleagues from Paris Match have not failed to relay on their social networks and which arouses strong reactions.
“Let him take care of our country before showing off”, “That’s THE photo that will raise the polls while the suburbs are on fire”, “France is on fire, the guy is attending concerts”, “He has a lot of problems our dear president”, “It’s good he has a sense of priorities”, “While his country is on fire”, “Yes on the night of the riots it’s okay you amuse Emmanuel anyway. You do what you want… shame on France”, “France is burning, the king is having fun, everything is fine”, “Is this a joke?”, “Meanwhile the cities are on fire and blood we loot, we burn”, “While it is almost civil war in France”, could we read in the comments.
