The wife of the French president begins legal prosecution of her accused of transgenderism

The French president's wife has launched legal proceedings after people, most of them from the far-right, attacked Brigitte Macron on social media, claiming that she had given birth to a boy named Jean-Michel Tronio.

The French president's wife, Brigitte Macron, has begun legal action over the spread of false allegations that she is transgender, the lawyer for Brigitte Macron said on Wednesday.

People, including far-right anti-Covid-19 vaccination circles, attacked Brigitte Macron on social media after a far-right publication spread the rumours.

Alleged rumors suggest that she has given birth to a boy named Jean-Michel Tronio, after Brigitte Macron, before her marriage.

These allegations emerged as her husband, President Emmanuel Macron, prepares for elections next year, although he has not yet officially announced his candidacy for the elections, and has raised fears of a campaign of gossip and rumors such as the one in the recent US elections.

The "Jean-Michel Tronio" hashtag has spread on Twitter in France over the past weeks.

Her lawyer, Jean Innochi, told Reuters that legal proceedings against a number of individuals began after the false allegations gained new momentum following the publication of a video clip on social media on December 10.

Inochi did not mention the names of those being prosecuted, nor did he specify whether the complaint should be brought before a civil or criminal court.

Brigitte Macron's office declined to comment.

The French president met his wife for the first time when she was 15, and she was a 40-year-old teacher.

Between "beautifying colonialism and rejecting reality" a controversy raised by an article about France's urbanization in Algeria

An article about "Jamal Al-Omran, left over from French colonialism in Algeria", has caused widespread controversy among social media users.

An article published by " Raseef22 ", which lists "Jamal Al-Omran, who was left behind by French colonialism in Algeria", has caused widespread controversy among social media users.

The Algerian journalist Karim Qandoli talked about the urban legacy of French colonialism, which still bears witness to the beauty of European architecture, but Qandoli did not deny the "destruction that the occupation also left in the land of one and a half million martyrs."

The journalist praised what the French colonialism built of “two million housing units, whose cities (Algeria) increased its splendor and beauty,” for what the writer considered “a well-established idea in the French mind,” that “Algeria is French, and the French never imagined that they would leave one day, They are dragging the tails of disappointment, after a devastating war of liberation that ended with Algeria's independence in 1962.

Many social media users criticized the article for turning a blind eye to the "millions of victims caused by the French occupation."

Others considered that the destruction left by colonialism in civilization, culture, history and heritage cannot be erased by urban beauty.

Tweeters denounced the writer's presentation, describing it as "a beautification of the colonialism that plundered most of the country's wealth for 130 years and because of it it lagged behind in development."

On the other hand, some defended the idea that the author of the article tried to convey, and saw that the goal of the press was to monitor the event and narrate the events.

One of them asked: “Are the pictures and information published in the article fabricated?” He added: “Our rejection of reality should motivate us to change and not bury our heads in the sand.”

While another denounced the attack on the author of the article, saying: "The same people who insult and criticize this article glorify the antiquities of the Arabs in Andalusia, and the idea is the same. But Arab ambivalence is always present, as if the Arabs were kind visitors, not occupiers, as if Spain were their land."

It is noteworthy that Algeria gained its independence from France in 1962 after a bloody seven-year war, and ended the colonial rule that lasted about 132 years and claimed, according to some historians, the lives of 5 million people.
