“Pearls” from Macron’s visit to Lithuania in a satirical French television program

“Lithuania, Lithuania, Lie-tu-va”, repeating the title three times and explaining in detail where our country is, the report was started by the famous presenter of the program Y. Barthes in France.

On the map, the French were able to see exactly where and how the Baltic states and their neighborhood are located.

One of the first things that caught the attention of journalists was the detail of the diplomatic protocol.

The report shows a shot of a procession with a couple of Macrons arriving at the Presidency, the car door opens and the presenter captures the attention of the audience:

“The ‘diplomatic accident – five, four, three, two, one (seconds)’”, says the voice behind the scenes, and the first French couple leaves.

“It just came to our knowledge then. It is enough to come to Lithuania to dress like a Lithuanian,” joked the technician. “It would be a diplomatic ‘accident’ if we did not notice that both men are dressed in the same way. It’s okay”.

Memorable sediments and nausea

Introducing that the surname of the President of Lithuania is Nausėda, the Frenchman drew attention to his characteristic, a mimicry, when the first couples were preparing for a joint photo in the White Hall of the Presidency.

“The last name of the President of Lithuania is Nausėda, and he has a uniqueness: he seems like a naughty person.
Look at your impersonator. It is as if he said: soon I will release a joke ”, commented the journalist.

The report also included E. Macron’s meeting with the Belarusian opposition Svetlana Cichanouskaya, the efforts of Lithuanian students to ask questions in French, which were evaluated by the head of the republic.

“The students really tried,” said the host in a very serious voice. The expression on E. Macron’s face also entered the scene when he heard the translation of the question asked in Lithuanian.

The journalist highlighted two things that E. Macronas had not experienced or experienced in Lithuania for a long time, namely applause when he entered the VU room and a quiet discussion in “yellow vests”.

The yellow vests are a symbol of protest in France. While walking through Vilnius in Lithuania, she came across a group of kindergarten children dressed in those vests.

“How old are you?” Asked Macron. A group of little fingers pointing boldly replied: those four. Then, continuing the conversation, the French president asked, “So what are you doing?”

“So we are protesting,” ironized the presenter.

The report ends with the sentence that on Wednesday, the first couple in France climbed one floor higher, traveling to Latvia.
