“The Elysee Palace wasted no time scrambling to spin the embarrassing footage, calling it nothing more than a “moment of closeness” and claiming the couple was simply “relaxing” and “playfully teasing each other” before starting the official trip.
Le Monde reported:
Macron’s office initially denied the authenticity of the images, before they were confirmed as genuine. A close associate of the president, cited anonymously by Agence France-Presse (AFP), later described the incident as a couple’s harmless “squabble.”
Another member of his entourage downplayed the significance of the incident. “It was a moment when the president and his wife were decompressing one last time before the start of the trip by joking around,” the second source told reporters.
Same, but what a weird thing to do! Want to give someone a little shove? Arms or back would be more appropriate. Such a strange "couple". And yeah, she's a dude.
No female has thighs that skinny.
Anorexic or meth addict, maybe.
Or a guy.
Seen Kristi Noem?
He waited on her(him?) and offered his hand, but it was refused. It was mad. That was no playful slap.
He also quickly stepped back out of view once he saw the door was open and people could see inside.
The look on that face! Shock and awe! 💥
Appropriate response to that would be to kick his wife in the balls.
Macron is not having a good day. Planes and trains. 😜
This is how the 🇫🇷 media does damage control

“It’s a moment of togetherness”

Mrs. Macron probably bought all of Carol Channing's wigs when Carol retired.
Looks to me like it wasn't a slap. She pushed him by the face with both hands

Ripped hostess sleeve makes no sense; probably being used to claim whole clip is AI generated...
Where are people seeing this hostess?
I think the are mistaking the female in blue as one, her shoulder has a gold patch on it, maybe they are mistaking that as a torn sleeve
Yeah I don't see a rip. There is just a chance it's something to do with the airport /airline staff uniforms tbh.
I thought that after reading another blog after I posted this.
Wifey packs quite a wallop!
Maybe it's just me, but I think a man should never hit a woman like that.
KeK!!
Husband slap.
He would have every right to punch that guy in the face after he was punched by that guy first...
What are these two dudes fighting about
Macron not enough balls to leave the wife, not enough balls to run country
His "wife" has all of those.
