French President Emmanuel Macron led nationwide outrage on Saturday after an ultra-conservative magazine portrayed a black lawmaker as a slave.The French presidency said Macron called Danielle Obono from the far-left party France Unbowed and "expressed his clear condemnation of any form of racism".

The magazine, Valeurs Actuelles, which caters to readers on the right and far right, showed Obono in chains with an iron collar on her neck to illustrate a seven-page imaginary story.
