Some prominent French figures, including President Emmanuel Macron, are rejecting “woke” ideology that has been imported from the United States amid a breakdown in relations between the two nations. 

A cover story by Le Spectacle Du Monde, one of France’s leading magazines, recently ran a piece titled “The Suicide fo America” in which it blames the deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan on a “woke dictatorship” and questioned whether the American “empire was collapsing,” Zenger News reported.
The article also took American universities to task over alleged extremism and censorship on campuses. The story cited Yale University, where school officials urged students to reconsider Halloween costumes that might be racially insensitive. 

Macron, who has been criticized by French progressives, told Elle Magazine this past summer that woke culture was “racializing” French society, Zenger reported. 

“I see that our society is becoming progressively racialized,” he said. 

Several members of his government have also shared anti-woke views, including Elisabeth Moreno, the french French delegate minister for gender equality and diversity.
