Emmanuel Macron was arrested by "yellow vests" Tuesday evening about police violence, while he was walking in the Tuileries garden with his wife, one of them asking him to "fire the Brav" (brigades repression of violent action). A video posted on the Facebook page “Yellow Vests Info” shows several people who, when they perceive it, start to sing “We are there” - the rallying air of the “yellow vests” -, chant “Macron resignation” and "You're going to fire".
The one who films, and who the bodyguards are trying to keep away, exclaims in amazement "it's incredible, we fall on the black beast". The small group of "yellow vests" begins to follow the presidential couple, covering by his hoots the calls for calm of the president who then decides to come and talk to them. "Why you gave the Brav, it's violent," shouts the man who films, adding "you are my employee", to which Emmanuel Macron responds "it is not the President of the Republic who does that "and" there are some in your home who are violent ".
"Be cool"
"It's a holiday, I'm going for a walk with my wife and you call me," he regrets. The Brav, motorcycle units, were put back into service to intervene during the demonstrations of "yellow vests". Be cool, ”says the president with a smile, which relaxes the atmosphere. "We breathed gas to death an hour ago," replies the man who films, probably referring to the Paris demonstration for the hospital marked by clashes with the forces of order.

"But you know there are problems", retorts the "yellow vest", citing "purchasing power, tax justice" but also the Balkany case and the pension reform. "Why the police got there, because you didn't just demonstrate, it broke down massively," argues the president, under protests from the small group who launched him "you're not going to protests! "
"I can't even curse him"
"The feeling of injustice, I hear," argues the head of state. Visibly delighted to have been able to speak to the Head of State, the "yellow vest" thanks him and exclaims "I can't even curse him". "So much the better!" ", Replies the head of state. Emmanuel Macron acknowledged in his interview on Tuesday noon that he was the object of a "detestation" by some, fueled according to him by his "blunders".
