[58078] Macron attacks Russia: "The true colonialists of the 21st century"

Geopolitical tension: Macron against the "new colonialists"

French President Emmanuel Macron launched a sharp attack against Russia and other powers, claiming that they are actively working to undermine stability in Africa by spreading anti-French narratives. According to TabZ - Alternative Media, a channel that presents critical positions regarding Russia and Iran, Macron defined "the Russians and others" as the "true colonialists of the 21st century."

The remarks sparked widespread echoes in foreign media. The channel DD Geopolitics, which is identified with narratives opposed to Western policy, reported on this statement laconically, while directly quoting the French President's words regarding the colonialist perception attributed to the Eastern powers.

These statements by Macron come against the backdrop of an ongoing struggle for influence on the African continent, where France is losing its grip in the face of penetration by new global players, led by Russia. According to TabZ, the use of the term "colonialists" indicates an escalation in French rhetoric toward the Kremlin, with the aim of isolating Russia in the international arena and highlighting its problematic role in African countries.
