Emmanuel Macron faced a significant public embarrassment upon his arrival for a state visit to Vietnam.
As the aircraft doors opened, the world witnessed a striking moment involving his wife, Brigitte Macron. The incident unfolded when Brigitte, often a subject of controversy, appeared to smack him in the face. Macron, aware of the cameras capturing the moment, managed a smile and acted as though nothing had transpired.
According to Gateway Pundit, the situation further deteriorated as the couple descended the plane's stairs. Brigitte notably refused to hold the French President's hand, leaving him visibly tense, with a clenched fist.
This incident adds to a series of public embarrassments linked to Brigitte Macron, who was once Emmanuel's teacher before their marriagea union that has sparked considerable debate.
Brigitte has been involved in several controversies, including an incident where she was seen laughing inappropriately during a visit to the Holocaust Memorial. Additionally, she has engaged in legal battles with French journalists over rumors questioning her gender. These episodes have consistently placed the French President in uncomfortable positions, both personally and politically.
