Overview
- During a censure debate in France’s National Assembly, LFI deputy Louis Boyard was filmed removing his watch seconds before a live BFMTV interview.
- Argentina’s president Javier Milei reposted the clip on X with the message “La hipocresía de la izquierda. Fin.”
- Boyard replied in Spanish, calling Milei a “perrito imperialista” and accusing him of selling out to the United States.
- Boyard later said the watch is a €295 Tissot gifted by friends and explained he often removes accessories before interviews to avoid noise while gesturing.
- Coverage situates Milei’s post within his broader international messaging against the left, noting no sign of formal diplomatic fallout beyond online exchanges.
