[world politics news]

 

French President Emmanuel Macron admitted Tuesday that part of his “strategy” on tackling COVID is to “piss off” the unvaccinated as much as possible by limiting their freedoms and coercing them into taking shots.

Macron made the comments in an interview with the Le Parisien newspaper, noting “As for the non-vaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And we will continue to do this, to the end. This is the strategy.”

Macron referred to the unvaccinated as "non-citizens," a notion that French courts may take issue with.

Macron's opponent in the presidential race, Eric Zemmour, called his comments "cynical."

"Emmanuel Macron knew what he was doing. He cynically exploited COVID to make it a subject of the presidential election so that his record and especially the identity of France are not addressed."
