In the days when the French president supported street riots in other nations, no one expected that less than a few months later, he would label all the French protesters as rioters and contradict every statement he has made so far. Recently, the French Ministry of Interior announced a meeting between French authorities and representatives of social networks.

Given a commitment by social media platforms to remove and censor contents pertaining to the ongoing protests in France, it became evident that Macron's strategy in other countries was focused only on stirring up turmoil and rioting while repressing public protests at home.
