After the slap, a young man insults Macron and accuses him of atheism... Video

 French President Emmanuel Macron was once again exposed to an embarrassing situation, after a young man insulted him and accused him of atheism, during his visit to the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes as part of an election tour.

French media published a video clip, showing Macron standing among a crowd of his supporters in the churchyard listening to religious songs, in which a young man shouted: "Shame on you! It's a scandal! You are an atheist, you have no reason to be there," before being violently expelled by services On-site security.

BMFTV indicated that Macron remained steadfast, applauding the singers present in front of him.

This incident is the second of its kind during Macron's electoral tours in preparation for the presidential elections next year, as he was slapped in the face in his first tour in the French La Drome region by a young man.

Hundreds of pilgrims were present on the premises of the church, the largest French Catholic pilgrimage center, which receives about 15,000 people daily.

Macron is the first president of the Fifth Republic to visit this Catholic edifice as the number of pilgrims has fallen sharply due to the Covid-19 crisis.
