Emmanuel Macron says video of wife pushing him shows them ‘joking around’
-
Emmanuel Macron has denied he and his wife, Brigitte, had an altercation after a viral video promoted by Russian state media and French far-right accounts appeared to show her pushing him in the face as they prepared to get off a plane in Vietnam.
The video, shot by an Associated Press camera operator, shows the French president appearing in the doorway of the plane at the start of a visit to Hanoi. His wife’s hand appears to shove him, causing him to step back before recovering and waving.
Brigitte Macron’s body is not visible and her husband told reporters afterwards the gesture was playful. But the Russian foreign ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, seized on the footage, writing on Telegram that the president had received “a right hook”.

They're people like anybody else. Whether it was a joke or an actual tiff has no bearing on their leadership of the country.

This is a clear case of domestically violence and for some reason not being treated as such. Just see people making jokes and telling he could look weak because of that
