This Friday, March 22, Emmanuel Macron denounced in Brussels the “indignity’ of recent comments by Russian leaders against France. An allusion to recent remarks by the vice-president of the Duma, Pyotr Tolstoy, who notably promised death to any French soldier who ventured onto Ukrainian soil and attacked the homosexuality of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.

Emmanuel Macron's remark illustrates the new presidential strategy which now consists of responding to any aggressiveness from Moscow towards Paris. In this informational war, almost anything is allowed.
