Brigitte’s « slap » to Macron and two misunderstandings

In the uncomfortable position to have to explain today, French President Emmanuel Macron was found after the challenged Salo From the « slap » believed to have given him his wife.

It all started with a viral video depicting his wife, Brigitte Macron, throwing him a « slap » at a time when the French presidential couple was preparing to land from the presidential plane to Hanoi.

This move was interpreted as a « slap » to the French president. The video that went viral in a short time rekindled discussions about the presidential couple and their public image.

Initially, Elisee denied that the slap pictures were authentic, but then he had been backing up as … he couldn’t do otherwise.

But the president himself, in his statements on the French television channel BFMTV, said « we were probably joking and we had teasing between us, as we often do with my wife and a video released, became a geoplastic catastrophe. »

Essentially denying the marital quarrel he said, « All this is a bit absurd. People say a lot of stupid things. Everyone has to calm down. « 

What do we see in the video with Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron

These images, taken by the Associated Press at Hanoi International Airport, show the door of the Presidential Aircraft opening and Emmanuel Macron appearing at the entrance.

The couple then descended the steps of the aircraft, with Brigitz denouncing her husband’s hand.

Indeed, according to the French side, this is not the first time, as they believe that two more incidents were misinterpreted and had dimensions. These are two incidents that Macron calls « madness » and relate to the trip to Kiev and the visit to Tirana.

As for Macron himself, he preferred to respond as a whole to the reporters who raised the issue, choosing as a line of defense that both the incident with the « slap » and the other two recent incidents are made of centers that reproduce « crazy » to hurt him.

« I see a lot of madness, » he said categorically, he said there was « any family dispute » with his wife in Vietnam.

« We were probably joking and we were teasing between us, as we often do with my wife and a video released, became a geoplastic disaster, » Macron said when asked about it. « In the world we live in, we do not have much time to lose such issues, » he added.

Speaking on the French television channel BFMTV, Macron denied any « family scene », adding: « All this is a little crazy. People say a lot of stupid things. Everyone has to calm down. « 

« All this is crazy, » Macron says in the video below, while his references are about two more incidents.

Specifically on the train to Kiev, some « saw » him as he « hid a coca sac » while a used tissue was on the table.

In Tirana, others claimed that there was a moment between Macron and Erdogan.

It was argued that the French president rested his hand on the palm of his Turkish counterpart, something Erdogan took as a derogatory move he allegedly responding by grabbing Macron’s finger and shaking it for a while.

None of the above applies, according to what Emmanuel Macron claims.
