“The bigger it’s, the more it goes. The Élysée logically denied this Sunday in a message posted on X, the recruitment of “500 extras” “recruited to acclaim” Emmanuel Macron during the parade of July 14, as mentioned in a publication posted the day before on X.
In a publication posted Saturday by “Jacques Renardiere” on X, it was “revealed” that “500 extras would have been recruited to acclaim Macron for a salary of 98 euros”. The proof? An allegedly posted publication in a Facebook group in which a production company announces to seek against remuneration of the extras “to garnish and guarantee a jubilation for the descent of the president” on July 14, along the Champs-Élysées.
A surfer had, on Saturday, “beginning” this “information” on Saturday. “We are therefore faced with a questionable recruitment announcement, issued on behalf of a nonexistent company, published by a suspicious profile and relayed by equally doubtful accounts,” summed up on X Knwldgmedia, specialized in the Fact-Checking.
The video accumulating almost a million views, the Élysée therefore decided this Sunday to deny this information by official channels – at the risk of pointing on it a spotlight. “The bigger it is, the more it goes,” denounced the palace, accompanying the post with a capture of the original publication, covered with a “false”.
This is not the first time that the Presidency of the Republic has made an official denial on false information, more and more numerous on social networks. In May, the Élysée had, for example, wanted to specify that what some saw as a cocaine sachet was a “handkerchief to fly”.
