French President Emmanuel Macron has dismissed claims about the recent unrest in France as “unacceptable and stupid”, saying there was no visible foreign interference in the protests but clear foreign manipulation of information afterwards. Speaking in Lusail, Qatar, Macron said AI-generated images had shown scenes that never happened in France, and rejected claims that the country had been “invaded by hordes of migrants and Islamists” as completely false. Asked whether U.S. President Donald Trump was among those he meant, Macron replied: “Among others.”
