:data-laughing:
Yeah ok the watch isn’t 80,000€. Funny nonetheless and I’d say fake news against Macron’s watch is acceptable lol
Yeah I read it was 2.5k which is still absurd for a mostly luxury item. Even a flagship smartphone cost 1/3 of that.
It feels so ridiculous that I wouldn’t be surprised if he staged this whole thing to try and get people to focus on the watch instead of what he was actually saying.
i’ve been meaning to get a watch so I am not distracted by my phone as much. Should I get Macron’s watch from his yet-to-be bleeding stump?

It came as the Elysee was forced to cancel a state visit on Sunday by King Charles III, after becoming convinced to do so by security threats including grafitti reading “Death to the King” and “Charles III do you know the guillotine?”.
:sicko-hexbear:
I’m dubious of the security threat reasoning, because a variety of unions and workers all announced they wouldn’t cooperate with the visit.
I know the tram drivers and other transport unions said they wouldn’t operate for a Royal.
And then there’s this gem:
CGT union announced this week that its members at Mobilier National, the institution in charge of providing flags, red carpets and furniture for public buildings, would not help prepare a Sunday reception for the king upon his arrival in Paris.
