when the DGSI [a French security agency charged with counter-espionage, counter-terrorism, countering cybercrime and surveillance of potentially threatening groups] has questioned Bastien about what he thinks of Macron. A photograph on his computer is mentioned, which according to them details the President’s security arrangements for the July 14th parade. (…)

The device in question (an aerial photo taken from the press) is highlighted in such a way as to draw a dick. A dick.

The link is made with Bastien’s passion for drones. The implication is that he could have used a drone to attack this dick-shaped device using explosives.

    That article is awful. Is it a machine translated article? Can anyone summarize it. I couldn’t stand trying to read it, it was so poorly written.

      The report seems like it may have been a translation. Their proofreader likely just looked for spelling mistakes, and the grammar was unchanged.

          Er, I’m not saying that there were spelling mistakes, just that spelling mistakes are likely the only thing looked for by whoever is putting eyes on an article before it is posted. I, for instance, would be able to check for spelling mistakes in my second language, but would likely not see grammar issues unless they were glaringly obvious.
