“Working for France!” meme: meaning, origin and common card

What does the “Working for France!” meme mean?

The meme conveys irony regarding a perceived absurd or lonely political situation. It highlights the gap between noble words (“for France”) and the visual reality of a man alone in an office after a strategic pivot. The dominant emotion is sarcasm towards an attitude seen as detached from real-world dynamics.

Where does the “Working for France!” meme come from?

The sole source is a video posted by Éric Ciotti on social media on June 12, 2024. As president of The Republicans, he had just announced his rapprochement with the National Rally. He closed the party headquarters and secluded himself. He then filmed himself returning to his office, saying “Working for France!”. Media outlets like Le Figaro covered it on June 13, 2024. The exact platform remains unspecified in available sources. The clip went viral due to its unusual nature and political weight.
