President Macron gets tomatoes thrown at him in crowded market

Emmanuel Macron had tomatoes thrown at him as he visited a food market in Cergy, northwest of Paris.

The French president was visiting the town on Wednesday (27 April) following his re-election last Sunday.

"I want to give a message of respect and consideration to these areas that are among the poorest in the country, right from the start of my mandate," Macron said.
