Emmanuel Macron has launched a challenge to YouTubers Mcfly & Carlito to produce one of their successful videos in order to encourage the French to respect the barrier gestures to stem the evolution of the Covid-19 epidemic, according to a video broadcast on their channel this Friday, February 19.
The two accomplices followers of crazy challenges, and whose Youtube channel exceeds 6.2 million subscribers, broadcast a video in which we see the Head of State calling them out.
“I challenge you: make a video to re-explain these gestures, the importance of respecting them, of not getting together, of not taking any risks, of not having large groups, to telework as much as possible, do this very simple video and if you have 10 million views, I make a commitment, you come to shoot at the Elysée […] It’s your turn “, declares the head of state.
Léna Situations, by Sonia Devillers: “She ends up snatching the most reluctant from their prejudices”
Anecdote competition
The two YouTubers confide in their disbelief, explaining that they first received a phone call from the digital manager of the Elysee, thinking of a “Hoax”. They were then recipients of Emmanuel Macron’s video message.
Despite the political dimension of the request, Mcfly & Carlito have announced to their community their choice to accept the challenge launched by Emmanuel Macron and plan, if this was reached, to submit the President of the Republic to a competition for ‘anecdotes.
“RDV SUNDAY 10AM TO FART THE SCORES”, wrote the two youtubers.
In April 2020, they had organized a charity day on YouTube – the “maradon” – which had made it possible to collect more than 400,000 euros in donations for French hospitals and nursing homes.
The «Maradon had received the support of the President of the Republic. “Thank you to all those who are committed to our frontline caregivers against Covid-19! “, commented on Emmanuel Macron’s account on YouTube.
