As he passed the stalls of a market, several cherry tomatoes (which are about the size of a cherry) flew close to him, while his security service moved quickly to remove him and open an umbrella.

Macron did not speak about the incident in later remarks to the media, in which members of his security service could be seen a little nervous, among the crowd who wanted to raise complaints or questions, or simply say hello to the president.

In his remarks, Macron again showed a very moderate tone ahead of the June National Assembly elections, saying he was going to “try to reconcile the French.”

He also promised to appoint a prime minister “involved in the social, environmental and productive issues”, in another of the nods to the left that he has launched in recent weeks.
