A woman in northern France is to be put on trial on charges of insulting President Emmanuel Macron after describing him as 'filth' in a Facebook post, a prosecutor said on Wednesday. The woman risks a fine of 12,000 euros but not prison if convicted at the trial due to be held in June

Wtf . How does macron make me of all people feel a bit of sympathy to these entitled idiots.

Don’t understand your point. This is not America and the lady had no right to insult the President. In Germany, she would be given a penalty as well.

Lol. She has a right to insult the President no matter where she is. What may differ is whether that right is recognized in law.
