French President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday that hecklers in a crowd were insulting France, after he was criticized for saying residents of cyclone-ravaged Mayotte would be in “deeper shit” without the country. Asked about the comments in an interview on Friday, Macron said some of the people in the crowds were RN political militants, and that he wanted to counter the opposition’s narrative that France had been neglecting Mayotte. Angry residents of a Mayotte neighbourhood damaged by cyclone Chido described Macron as “out of touch” as he was touring the island.
