Moroccan Politician Spreads Conspiracy Theory About Notre-Dame Fire and Macron

"Incredible. Fire at Notre-Dame de Paris: a heavyweight of the PJD has his own version," headlines Le360. "He implies that the fire would actually be a ruse by Emmanuel Macron," writes the Huffpost for its part. And the criticisms are pouring in from all sides on Hassan Hamourou who, no doubt stunned by the amount of donations to rebuild Notre-Dame, had a circumstantial Eureka and hastened to explain the conspiracy to the blind that, according to him, people are.

On the night of Monday to Tuesday, April 16, Hassan Hamourou, a member of the National Council of the PJD despite his youth (his imagination must have pleased them), claimed in a Facebook post: "France and the entire euro zone have long been in a financial and economic recession likely to worsen: there is a need to attract capital and raise funds from any available source, either through voluntary donations, or by canceling expenditures allocated to ’non-productive’ services, and changing the destination of the amount." Pseudo-academic form, ridiculous content... Under his benevolent and simple appearances, Macron would, according to Hamourou, be no less than Machiavelli.

And this would be the basis of this conspiracy, this diabolical plan hatched by the abominable Macron (although Hamourou did not expressly say so): to burn the cathedral, make it pass for an accidental fire due to the work, ask the firefighters to pretend to try to extinguish it, tell Trump or anyone else that we cannot drop water to put out the fire (in order to let everything burn).. But Macron and his accomplices had obviously counted without Hamourou.

Prodigious imagination, that’s all we can say...
