Macron shuts down noisy audience mid-speech | ABC NEWS
French President Emmanuel Macron interrupted an event as artists and young speakers addressed the audience, asking attendees to remain quiet during a youth-focused session at the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi.
He interrupted the “Africa Forward: Creation in Motion” discussion after conversations in the room grew louder, saying it was “impossible” for speakers to be heard.
“There is a total lack of respect,” Macron told attendees, urging those holding side discussions to continue them outside or in bilateral meeting rooms.
