I'm not sure it's quite that simple - they've held the Presidency multiple times in this period but as far as I know they've not performed an action like this.

I'm not sure it's quite that simple - they've held the Presidency multiple times in this period but as far as I know they've not performed an action like this. There's certainly something going on, but it's not just a hissy fit. As others have mentioned it's only for the duration of the French presidency, it'll probably get switched to English when the Czech presidency begins.
- ardit33 5y agoThe next Presidential elections are early next year, that's why. Macron wants to look more important/relevant, and a keeper of french values and cultural importance.
- smcl 5y agoPut that way it doesn't sound much like a typical French thing or a hissy fit, but the sort of thing politicians everywhere do. It's dumb and petty and will probably backfire somehow, but there we go.
