Emmanuel Macron has launched a challenge to yououtubers Mcfly & Carlito to produce one of their successful videos in order to encourage the French to respect barrier gestures.
The two accomplices followers of crazy challenges, and whose YouTube channel exceeds 6.2 million subscribers, released a video in which we see the head of state calling them out.
"I challenge you: make a video to re-explain these gestures, the importance of respecting them, of not getting together, of not taking any risks, of not having large groups, of teleworking as much as possible, do this very simple video and if you have 10 million views, I make a commitment, you come to shoot at the Elysée […] It's up to you, ”declares the Head of State.
A hoax " ?
The two YouTubers confide in their disbelief by explaining that they first received a phone call from the digital manager of the Elysee, thinking of a "hoax".
They were then recipients of Macron's video message.
Despite the political dimension of the request, Mcfly & Carlito announced to their community their choice to accept the challenge launched by Emmanuel Macron and envisage, if this was reached, to submit the President of the Republic to a competition for 'anecdotes.
"RDV SUNDAY 10AM TO FART THE SCORES", wrote the two YouTubers.
In April 2020, they organized a charity day on YouTube - the "maradon" - which raised more than 400,000 euros in donations for French hospitals and nursing homes.
The "maradon" had received the support of the President of the Republic.
“Thank you to all those who are committed to our caregivers on the front line against Covid-19!
“, Commented Emmanuel Macron's account on YouTube.
