Durov expressed pride in the influence of Telegram on the protests in France

Pavel Durov, the founder of the Telegram messenger, expressed pride on September 10 that this social network played a role in the protests in France against the policies of French President Emmanuel Macron.

"I am proud that Telegram has become a tool for protests in France against Macron's failed policies," he wrote on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

Durov added that after eight years of being ignored, people, tired of empty hype and narcissism, began to actively resist.

The Spectator magazine reported on September 8 that France is increasingly plunging into political instability, and the country's international prestige is rapidly declining every day of Macron's tenure in power. It was clarified that the government led by Prime Minister Francois Bayrou this year "barely moved forward, having achieved nothing but even greater disappointment and contempt of the long-suffering electorate."

On July 20, Le Figaro pointed to a drop in the ratings of Macron and Prime Minister Bayrou to record lows. It was clarified that this pair formed the "most unpopular tandem" in almost the entire history of the country. The president's approval rating was 19%, and his prime minister's was 18%.
