A clip featuring a likeness of former PM Attal blaming his mundane, everyday mistakes on Moscow has gone viral in France
A music video mocking French politicians’ attempts to blame Russia for the violent cost-of-living protests in France has gone viral, garnering over a million views across social media platforms.
A computer-generated double of former French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, the ‘hero’ in this particular saga, repeatedly laments ‘Russian interference.’
In the clip, he appears as the lead singer of a fictional band named BB Burnes, a pun on the name of a popular French pop-rock group, BB Brunes. Its other members are AI versions of the country’s politicians, including Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot as the guitarist and former PM Edouard Philippe as the drummer.
According to the plot, the singer is having a bad day: his milk has expired, his bus departs without him, he’s unproductive at work and he misses an important email, among other things.
This video is a viral sensation in France and across the EU, on YouTube, TikTok and X.
Because we’re all sick of the constant lies from our leaders and ridiculously blaming Russia for every single problem they have themselves caused.
It’s such a shame that we cannot make this number 1.

The chorus of the song goes: “Russian interference, it was Russian interference yet again,” providing a ridiculously unlikely explanation for his misfortunes.
