French President Emmanuel Macron left France for a three day Gulf tour. 🇫🇷
He is governing a country where the prime minister is calling the absence of deaths “a miracle,” where a 17 year old lost an eye and a student lost a hand, and where his own interior minister says authorities “lost control.”
French public just watched 2,400 of their fellow citizens get arrested, watched the base of the Marianne statue get torn apart and the president’s response was to get on a plane. Whatever Macron secures in the Gulf this week, he will come home to a country that watched him leave when it needed him most.
