Macron says it is "stupid" and "unacceptable" what Trump, Magyar, and Tusk said about the French protests
French President Emmanuel Macron criticized foreign leaders for their "unacceptable and foolish remarks" following recent riots in France. He rejected claims linking the unrest to immigration, calling them false. Donald Trump and other EU leaders, including Hungary's Viktor Orbán, had connected the protests to migration issues. Macron expressed frustration over political leaders repeating misleading narratives, suggesting they campaign at France's expense. He emphasized that such comments reveal who truly cares for France. Meanwhile, Hungary's Orbán defended strict immigration policies in light of the violence, while Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk blamed France's immigration policy. Macron will not attend Hungary's state celebration, opting for a diplomatic visit to Qatar instead.
