The President of the Republic wanted to return to some of his comments made in June, when the country was shaken by riots.
The riots of last June, which followed the death of young Nahel due to the shooting of a police officer, were as emotional because of the numerous damages as because of certain declarations by the president. He then explained that he wanted to “cut off” social networks, and also blamed video games in the behavior of the young rioters. He has since wanted to clarify his idea.
Macron misunderstood
“ We have the feeling that some people live on the street with video games that have addicted them “. This is a sentence from the tenant of the Élysée which did not go unnoticed a little over two months ago. Enough to disappoint a large public in France, especially from a politician who liked to appear close to the concerns of young people. So, the Head of State wanted to clarify his idea, in a long message on X.com (formerly Twitter).
So for him, if he was able to mention video games, it was not to put an equal sign between the gamers and the rioters. Rather, he wanted to point out a misuse of the codes of this world “ to trivialize violence on social networks “. In short, the message is: “ It is this violence that I condemn, not video games “.
France engaged in gaming
Beyond this clarification, Emmanuel Macron also wanted to recall his government’s commitment to gaming. Some particularly dithyrambic sentences from the president speak to us of a “ sport, an ecosystem, with true professionals, high-level gatherings and international tournaments that mark history, which build generations around powerful values “.
An ecosystem to which the Culture pass gives access, and which would also create excellent jobs. Reason why the government is committed, in particular “ by significantly strengthening around fifteen public schools and private [du secteur] which are already among the best in the world: there is Enjim, ISART Digital, RUBIKA, Creative Seeds, ARTFX and so on “. Enough to regain the graces of the environment?
