Severed finger mailed to Macron

The French newspaper “Valeurs actuelles” reports today. The mail was received by the Elysee’s correspondence department between 9 and 10 July.

“The finger was placed in a fridge,” a security source at the Elysee Palace told the newspaper. The police have identified the person who sent the finger. Emergency procedures were immediately initiated so that the person could be cared for and subjected to a medical examination, it said.

But the Elysee didn’t want to reveal who the finger belonged to and who sent it. Macron himself should not have noticed anything. At that time he was already busy with the preparations for the NATO summit in Vilnius.

It turned out that a box with a cut human finger was sent to the official residence of French President Emmanuel Macron, who was the target of reactions due to the protests that started in the country after the murder of a 17-year-old teenager by a police bullet.

According to the news of the French magazine Valeurs actuelles, a box containing a cut human finger was sent to Macron’s official residence. While the police were examining the package, no statement was made about the incident from Macron’s office.

The police investigated

Speaking to the right-leaning magazine, a security source said the box sent to the Elysee Palace was cause for concern. It was reported that the package sent before the Bastille Day, which will be celebrated tomorrow in France, was examined by the police.

A person who sent the box was reportedly identified and questioned. While Macron’s office did not make a statement about the incident, no information was given about the cause of the situation.

The French leader has recently been the target of reactions due to the law to raise the retirement age and the mass protests that broke out after the killing of 17-year-old Nahel, of Algerian descent, by the police.
