This Monday, June 10, during the commemorations, Emmanuel Macron spoke briefly with a big boss, close to the Élysée. Their comments are reported in an article in the newspaper Le Monde, published this Friday. “Are you okay, these days aren’t too hard?” », would have asked the entrepreneur. ” But not at all ! I’ve been planning this for weeks, and I’m thrilled. I threw my unpinned grenade at their legs. Now we will see how they get out of it…”, Emmanuel Macron would have replied. Words which, for the moment, have not been denied by the Élysée.
Questioned this Saturday morning about the remarks allegedly made by the President of the Republic, Marine Tondelier did not mince her words. “It’s a shame,” said the general secretary of the Greens. “Oradour-sur-Glane is 643 dead, men, women, children, murdered in terrible circumstances,” she recalled.

“Shameful” comments, for Marine Tondelier
“The men were shot in the legs before setting their bodies on fire, so that they would burn alive. I don’t know if you can imagine the cynicism of Emmanuel Macron, who was there to reflect on the 80th anniversary of this massacre. (…) If any candidate for the French legislative elections had said that, we would only be talking about that, we would demand his resignation. The least he can do is apologize, and apologize quickly. Cynicism and electoral calculations do not excuse everything,” added Marine Tondelier.
