On April 19, the President of the Republic was widely booed during a visit to Sélestat (Bas-Rhin), his first crowd bath after the promulgation of the law reforming pensions. Two men were fined for making middle fingers and insulting Emmanuel Macron during his visit to Alsace in April, we learned Wednesday from the Colmar prosecutor's office.
Two protesters with no criminal record appeared on Monday on prior admission of guilt for contempt of public authority.
