What does the “Chirac fraude le métro” meme mean?

The gap is the whole joke: a man who held the highest office in the country behaves like a hurried commuter hopping over a turnstile. The meme salutes carefree boldness, an entrance with no ceremony, or a small slip of conduct owned with a smile. People post it to comment on someone cutting in line, stepping over a barrier without a second thought, or just to wink at French pop culture.

Where does the “Chirac fraude le métro” meme come from?

Jacques Chirac was mayor of Paris from 1977 to 1995, then president of France from 17 May 1995 to 16 May 2007, after being re-elected in 2002. His long political career made him a figure everyone knows. This meme drops the former head of state into an everyday scene, the metro, where he dodges the fare like any commuter. The title is enough to describe the scene, and the “presidential swag” caption sets its tone.
