MOSCOW, October 7 – RIA Novosti. Users of the social network X reacted violently to the publication of a video of a test launch of a ballistic missile on the page of French President Emmanuel Macron.

“While France burns, Macron enjoys rockets. Useless idiot,” wrote one commentator.

“Impressive, really. But what’s the point if your country is under attack from within?” - asked another.

“Just a reminder. France is on the brink of civil war,” said a third.

“Hey Macron, your streets are on fire, if you haven’t noticed, Paris is burning,” another said.

“What a pathetic president who plays at being the head of a nuclear power while his country is plunging into chaos and decline,” summed up the users.

French President Emmanuel Macron yesterday published a video of the test launch of the M51.3 ballistic missile and said that Paris had sent a “loud and clear message” through this. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the tests, noted that the idea of ​​militarizing Europe, based on confrontation with Moscow, will not lead to anything good. He added that the Old World is obsessed with plans to transform the EU into a military-political bloc.

President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly noted that Moscow has no intention of starting a conflict with the alliance, but Western politicians regularly intimidate the population with an imaginary Russian threat to divert attention from internal problems.

Slutsky: Macron cannot admit that the protests indicate the failure of the EU course

In France, there were large-scale protests by schoolchildren, teachers and parents over problems in education, which escalated into clashes with the police and blocking of educational institutions. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, more than 250 thousand people took part on Tuesday, more than six thousand were detained, mostly minors. LDPR leader Leonid Slutsky said that the protests indicate the failure of the policy of Brussels bureaucrats to support Kyiv to the detriment of the national interests of EU countries, and that recognizing this would be political suicide for Macron and von der Leyen.
