The video was caught when the presidential plane touched the land Hanoi and President Emmanuel Macron appeared at the door of the plane.
What followed was a sudden shock when he was hit in the face by his wife’s hands, which surprised him for a while.
Although the nation’s mother was not clearly visible because of the bird structure, her hands looked clear on the video.
The president quickly recovered, turned around and waved his hand to his waiting, then began to descend the stairs – alone without his wife agreeing to hold his hand.
Initially, the president’s office questioned the authenticity of the video, but later confirmed that the incident was true.
Information from the Elysée palace
The rumors compelled an official statement from the Elysée palace, which ignored the incident and described it as “time of proximity” and part of the common game between the couple.
One official said that the two were “joking before the official start of the visit.”
Another assistant criticized online accusations, claiming that the people were trying to cook propaganda to destroy the president’s reputation.
They said the incident had been given inappropriate weight.
However, online, many citizens were dissatisfied with the official statement, others interpreting the event as a sign of severe friction, or at least a state of political control.
“Then he crossed the other side to plan first before he stepped down,” He noted Dotty Nya Waringa, focusing on the president’s efforts to calm himself before meeting with Vietnamese officials.
“She still sees her husband like the baby who taught her kindergarten,” wrote Dickson Otieno Oturo, referring to the history of the two.
It will be remembered that Brigitte Macron was an Emmanuel Macron drama teacher before their romantic relationships began.
Yasmine Ruth Ernst asked with emphasis:
“Why don’t you ask what did he do? This is abuse. It’s not a matter of age.”
The age difference and the nature of their relationship as a student and teacher influenced many views.
“The teacher remains a teacher … he was honoring his disciple,” Said the Kondiek.
“You know he was his teacher. Maybe he still sees him,” Added Nam Oneko.
Reason for President Macron Vietnam’s visit
The spread of the video has covered the actual goals of Macron’s visit – strengthening diplomatic and economic cooperation with Vietnam, the former French colony.
The visit was the first to be made by the French president in the country for almost a decade and aimed to show Paris’ new position in the Indo-Pacific region.
However, it is the complex event of the president and his wife that has taken the headlines, giving critics and chefs enough raw materials – and putting Elysée’s palace in a defensive state.
