A new French hero

And he's the 2nd Malian immigrant to France to show such selfless bravery too. In 2015, Lassana Bathily, also Malian, showed great courage and bravery during an extremist attack in a Jewish supermarket in Paris. Within 2 weeks of his heroic act, he too was given leave to remain, after struggling for 6 years.

Yes, a wonderful and spontaneous act of bravery.

We all need heroes

Don't forget Mme Macron. he relies on her judgement- always has, and she has made some excellent decisions regardiing his behaviour as president.

My husband said exactly the same thing Merlotgran a brave man indeed.

An amazing and very courageous thing to do. If it had been a scene in an action movie I'd have said it was far fetched.

Don't take this the wrong way but I had to giggle when DD said, 'Oh my, do you think he's a cat burglar?'

It seems to have been an instinctive act of bravery - wonderful!
Macron is so different from previous presidents, he has an aura of sincerity which the french do appreciate.
I just hope that the french media - who are better regulated than the UK. - don't manage to destroy him.
And the powerful unions haven't given up yet.
We used to watch France 24 on tv, which gies a good coverage in english of what's going on in France.

A very brave man

A wonderful thing for this young man to have done, but I wonder if Macron's gesture regarding his immigration status was only prompted by the massive media attention this act of selflessness and bravery attracted.

Compare that to the way Britain has treated first the Gukhas and then the Iraqui and Afghan translators who risked all to help British soldiers in those countries.
