TL;DR Summary

French President Emmanuel Macron joined a group of young Parisians singing a traditional song on the street, which was later shared by a Facebook group reportedly set up by the far-right. Macron's team said he couldn't have known the background of each person he was talking to and that he was having some time to himself with his wife when they were approached by the singers. Macron recently signed into law deeply unpopular reforms that raise the pension age from 62 to 64, and his impromptu sing-song may have been his first appearance in public since the reforms were forced through.
