Macron says pushing in the face by wife Brigitte “just jokes around”

The shots show the moment when Emanuel Macron was pushed into the face by his wife as they touched Hanoi, Vietnam on Sunday night.

In the Brigitte Macron video, it is largely darkened by the view, with only her hands visible while the macron is pushing.

Initially, the French president seems startled, but quickly composed and removed with cameras below.

Elysee sources were quoted by the French media, saying that what was caught on the camera was “a moment when the president and his wife were unscrewed, passing the last time before the start of the trip,” and Macron said they “just joke like we”.
