Yes, Minister Bruno Le Maire was well taken in picture without mask on the train

It’s an amateur shot that has been circulating on social networks since Friday, March 5.We see the Minister of Economy sitting reading the newspaper in the Paris-Vichy intercités, visibly without mask.

Bruno Lemaire made the journey that day for visits related to the revival of the economy in the Vichy basin, where we recognize the same costume as that of the photos.Contacted, the Ministry of the Economy answers us: "It is indeed a photo taken this Friday morning on a train left at 7 am from Paris for Vichy, at a time when the minister was resting.You can note in the photo of the madeleines, a bottle of water and a coffee.»»

La photo (en version entière ou coupée) a été vivement critiquée, les internautes s’en prenant au ministre qui a « plus l’air de lire son journal que de boire son café»», rappelant ses photos de déconfinement à la terrasse d’un café parisien déjà critiquées et fait référence aux photos de François Bayrou prise dans un aéroport sans masque (et avec un café) en janvier.

No, Emmanuel Macron was not photographed without a mask at Touquet Sunday, February 28

Several also refers to another photo, which is decontextualized: one by Emmanuel Macron in the Touquet presented as taken on February 28 when she was taken at the end of June, during the second round of the municipal.

The error of interpretation comes from the fact that the photo of June 28 served as an illustration for an article by Gala (whose photo has been changed since) relating to the Macron weekend in Touquet on February 28.
