Macron rejects foreign criticism of France's migrant policy as 'obvious manipulations'

nv.ua (Ukrainian) —

French President Emmanuel Macron dismissed criticism from foreign leaders over French protests, calling their statements "stupid" and "unacceptable." Speaking in Doha, Qatar, Macron cited "obvious manipulations," including AI-generated images of scenes that never occurred in France, and rejected claims that France was overrun by migrants and Islamists as "absolute lies." He said such comments show "who loves France and who doesn't." Macron will meet ministers and intelligence officials in Paris on October 22 to review weekend riots that saw about 2,000 shops looted, nearly 2,400 arrests, and around 1,000 police injured. The EU is investigating possible Russian disinformation, while US President Donald Trump and Polish and Hungarian leaders criticized France's immigration policy.
