The French Foreign Ministry protested and summoned the Russian ambassador because of the offensive cartoons about Europeans posted on the official Twitter account of the Russian Embassy in France.
Russian speaker Zakharova commented on Macron's words about caricatures from the Russian Embassy: "Really? We were taught by the French President and the French Foreign Ministry that any caricatures are okay. Even monstrous ones like the ones in Charlie Hebdo. We decided to follow their advice and use satire, which they consider a manifestation of freedom of speech. And now they don't like it? No way. Take that and sign it.
Charlie Hebdo is a French literary-artistic weekly magazine of political satire, published on Wednesdays. It publishes cartoons, reports, discussions, and anecdotes of a non-conformist nature. Taking leftist and secular positions (according to Charbonnier, the magazine's editorial policy represents "all components of the pluralist left and even absenteeism"). We can ask if "the statement was made by the French Foreign Ministry" - this France or some other. This is not even a double standard, but pure idiocy, contempt and arrogance towards people and not only in Russia. First of all to the French themselves, whom their leaders consider a stupid and obedient herd (although maybe they do deserve it?).
