President Emmanuel Macron seen partying with Elton John as France descends into chaos, destruction

 At a time when France is seething with rage in the wake of violent protests sparked by the fatal shooting of a teenager by cops, President Emmanuel Macron was seen partying with British singer Elton John.

On Wednesday evening, Macron was filmed at Paris's Accor Arena, watching the singer on his farewell tour, reports Dailymail.com.

He was also photographed alongside his wife with the legendary artist, who has been bestowed with France's Legion of Honour award.

The photo triggered massive outrage overnight, with Thierry Mariani, an MEP with Marine Le Pen's National Rally, saying, “While France was on fire, Macron applauded Elton John,” the Telegraph reported. This was happening when police were engaged in bloody clashes with protesters, making 150 arrests nationwide. On Thursday, more than 40,000 French cops were deployed to quell the protests.

What happened?

The deceased, identified as Nahel M from the western Paris suburb of Nanterre, was pulled over by two policemen for violating traffic rules while driving a yellow Mercedes on Tuesday morning.

Initially, the cops reported that an officer had shot at the teenager because he was driving his car at him, but it was later contradicted by a video circulating online and authenticated by many media channels.
