Is it true that after the adoption of a pension reform in Macron was thrown into an egg?

In mid -April 2023, a video began to spread on the blogs, which stated, a citizen who was displeased with pension reform, threw an egg at the President of France. We decided to check if this is so.

The video that was dispersed through social networks is very short: in these three seconds you can see how Emmanuel Macron is surrounded by citizens and guards, and then an egg fell into his head. Most publications say that the video is fresh: on April 19, they wrote about him that this happened “yesterday” and that this is a consequence of the discontent of the French with a recent pension reform. The video was published by many popular Russian Telegram channels: ""Ax - hot news"(233,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Solovyov"(200,000),"Ukraine | News"(192 000) and"Ribbon"(160,000). From large media on the incident they wrote "Russian newspaper" And RTVI.

April 15, French President Emmanuel Macron signed The law on raising the retirement age. This reform Passed In conditions of street protests and the confrontation of the president with parliament. For three months, demonstrations and strikes did not stop in France, they are still going on. Many publications argued that it was after the signing of the scandalous law to Macron that was thrown into an egg. Sometimes they were given Details: Allegedly this happened during the president’s meeting with citizens in Alsas.

Macron's trip to the east of the country, to Alsas, April 19, the truth turned out Correct. The crowd booed him, many shouted insults and showed the president the middle finger. Three people for this will appear Before the court in September: they were charged with insulting a representative of the authorities. But the video that spread in Russian Telegram channels has nothing to do with the latest events.

Personnel with the throwing of an egg in the French president is a fragment of a video of six years ago. The incident did not occur in Alsace, but in Paris on March 1, 2017 at an agricultural exhibition. How Writes Reuters fact, then this video was the first to publish the publication Le Parisien. There is a video from another point that the user shot Twitter.

At that time, Macron was not yet the head of the republic, his unsuccessful visit to the exhibition took place in the midst of the election campaign. Subsequently, the French media wrote a lot about this. Le Figaro, for example, remindedWhat they had previously thrown into macron eggs - for example, in June 2016, when he held the post of Minister of Economics.

Thus, the video on which the egg gets into the head of the macron has nothing to do with the pension reform of 2023. These personnel are already six years old.
