Emmanuel Macron thinks everyone is making a mountain out of a molehill.
After a video circulated in which the President of France appeared to be pushed in the face by his wife, Brigitte Macron, before exiting their plane on May 25, an official from the President’s office set the record straight.
“It was a moment when the president and his wife were relaxing one last time before the start of the trip by having a laugh,” the official said in a statement, according to Reuters, on May 26. “It was a moment of closeness.”
The moment occurred after the President’s plane landed on the tarmac in Hanoi, Vietnam, as Macron and his wife are set to begin a tour of Southeast Asia. In the video, Macron, 47, appeared in the plane’s doorway before a hand reached out and pushed him in the face.
