TL;DR Summary

French President Emmanuel Macron was filmed singing a traditional song in the street after his televised address on pension reforms. The video was initially suspected to be fake, but sources close to Macron confirmed its authenticity. The incident occurred when Macron and his wife encountered a group of young people singing, and he joined in singing "Le Refuge," a song about a lodge in the Pyrenees. The video was first published on the Facebook page of an organization called "Projet Canto," which was founded and run by far-right activists and offered recordings of songs with ties to Nazi Germany in its app.
