Conspiracy theorists believe he was trying to send a message to the audience watching the broadcast.
A young uniformed soldier was seen moving his lips frenetically. He also shook his head from side to side. A female colleague looked over, trying to understand what he was doing.
The video went viral, amassing more than 12 million views and thousands of comments on X, formerly Twitter.
“France is already on fire: protests, strikes, record-low approval ratings, rumors of an army mutiny. And now this. A silent act of defiance? A mental breakdown under pressure?” one user speculated.
“Whatever it was… it wasn’t accidental. Something shifted. And everyone felt it,” warned another.
Many believed the soldier had a hidden purpose. “Now everyone is asking the same thing: Was it stress? A protest? A breakdown? Or a silent message before the entire country?” someone wrote.
