The head of the French department was fired because Macron had to walk 500 meters in the rain
The head of the Pas-de-Calais department, Laurent Touvet, was suspended after an incident in which President Emmanuel Macron was forced to walk in the rain due to a protest by farmers. This was reported by Canard Enchaine.
The material clarifies that on November 19, Macron arrived in the city of Arras. In connection with his visit, local farmers organized a demonstration, blocking the road with tractors. The president’s motorcade encountered this obstacle, and as a result, Macron had to travel about 500 meters in the rain to his destination. The reason for the incident is said to be insufficient coordination between the presidential security service and local gendarmes.
According to the publication, an annoyed Macron, after returning to Paris, initiated the resignation of Laurent Touvet, accusing him of creating a security threat and inability to control the situation with the protesters. It is noted that Tove was subsequently transferred to the post of Director of the General Directorate for Foreigners at the French Ministry of Internal Affairs.
