@wearedigitaldiplomacy: Moments after the opening ceremony for the 🏉 Rugby World Cup earlier this month, 🇫🇷 French President Emmanuel Macron was jeered by fans at 🎪 Stade de France near 🇫🇷 Paris when he walked onto the field. 🇫🇷 Macron, whose unpopular pension plan has led to social tensions, stood with his arms folded and applauded 🏉 World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont after he finished his speech. 🔈 Chants of “Allez Les Bleus” rang out around the 🎪 stadium but some of the jeering continued, before other fans broke out into spontaneous chants of the national anthem, 🇫🇷 “La Marseillaise.” The ceremony, performed under the directorial supervision of Oscar-winning 🎬 French actor Jean Dujardin, was a celebration of 🥖 French gastronomy, culture and 🖼️ art. It featured leaping acrobats, a giant scrum with dozens in fancy dress, and a massive inflatable Eiffel Tower which rose in the middle of the field. #macron #digitaldiplomacy
