Emmanuel Macron will have had quieter weekends. After being heckled during his presence at the Agricultural Show on Saturday, the Head of State was again at the center of attention on Sunday February 25, but this time in a more surprising place, where he It wasn’t even: the Accor Arena in Bercy.
While Kanye West, who now calls himself Yé, organized a listening party for his new album “Vultures 1” in the famous Parisian concert hall, his fans who came to listen to him did not fail to express their anger towards the President of the Republic. While waiting for the American star to arrive on stage, “Macron resignations” came down from the stands.
“Macron resignations” have become frequent
While it may be difficult to make the link between Kanye West’s new album and the political situation in France, this is not the first time that Emmanuel Macron has been criticized during musical events organized in France. . In June 2023, the audience at Global Citizen, a concert organized on the Champ de Mars with Lenny Kravitz and Billie Eilish, chanted “Macron resignation”.
Two months earlier, in April, the Norwegian singer Girl in Red had asked the audience at the Olympia to teach her a few words of French, to which her audience chanted “Macron resignation”.
If this time he was at the front of the stage with microphone in hand, the head of state was also heavily booed by part of the public at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis) during of his opening speech at the Rugby World Cup last September.
