In an interview with BFMTV, Le Maire referred to the moment that sparked social networks in the last hours at a press conference on Monday, where Mbappé accompanied the PSG coach, Christophe Galtierthey both made an argument joke about air travel.

Galtier and Mbappé ridiculed the suggestion of an executive of the French railway company SNCF: They will use the train instead of the plane to go to Nantesthey covered less than 400 kilometers, as they did for league games last weekend.
The coach, who gave a sarcastic response to a question asked to him on this subject, said that they were “talking to the company that organized our trips”. “We’re looking to see if we can go by sailboat.Le Maire said this irony was “unwarranted”.
While the minister did not declare that he was closed to limiting the use of private flights by regulation, he insisted that “the challenge of (climate change) exceeds that of private planes and swimming pools”. According to that, “We can’t stay in symbols”.
Prior to the head of economy, Galtier had been the target of criticism from other members of the Government, such as Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, who said on her Twitter account that she normally gave him “more appropriate replies”. He said they needed to talk about his controversial remarks.
Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of the French capital, also launched a scolding at Mbappé and Galtier on the same social network: “Are you awake? This is Paris.”
