Where does the “Because it's our project” meme come from?
The sequence originates from Emmanuel Macron’s first major Paris campaign rally held on Saturday, December 10, 2016, at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center. Facing roughly fifteen thousand people after an hour and a half of speaking, he concluded with a shout: "Because it's our project! Long live the Republic, long live France!" His voice, extremely hoarse and cracking on the final syllable, created an unexpected effect. The clip spread rapidly on Twitter the next day, shared by outlets like Koreus. While the initial upload platform remains unknown, its viral trajectory on social media was immediate.
