During a diplomatic visit to Qatar, French President Emmanuel Macron addressed the international reaction to the recent wave of street protests and riots occurring across France. Macron expressed frustration with foreign leaders who have commented on the domestic situation, labeling their remarks as both 'unacceptable' and 'stupid.'

While Macron did not initially name specific individuals, he confirmed that his criticism included U.S. President Donald Trump when prompted by reporters. The tension stems from recent social media activity and public statements by foreign officials who have attempted to link the French unrest to issues such as migration and radicalization. Macron characterized these interventions as a form of 'manipulation of information' intended to score political points rather than provide an accurate assessment of the situation in France.

The French government is currently preparing for further demonstrations scheduled for the upcoming weekend, maintaining a high-alert status. The disagreement highlights a growing friction between the French administration and international figures who have sought to use the French protests as a case study for their own domestic political agendas. While Macron views these comments as meddling and misinformation, the foreign leaders involved, particularly Trump, have framed the unrest as evidence of broader societal failures regarding immigration and security policies.
