France’s Royal claims to be fired as ambassador for bashing Macron 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseFrench former presidential candidate and ex-environment minister Segolene Royal claimed Tuesday she was to be fired as ambassador to the North and South Poles for criticising President Emmanuel Macron’s policies. Royal said she understood from the letter dated January 7 that her dismissal “has already taken place”. In recent weeks her position had appeared to be in jeopardy after a flurry of tweets and statements bashing the government and Macron. Several senior Macron allies had accused Royal of being bent on revenge, after failing to land a plum position in the cabinet or European Commission.
