'We were just joking', says Macron after controversial video with first lady
French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday dismissed speculation over a widely circulated video showing French first lady Brigitte Macron shoving his face aboard their plane after arriving in Vietnam.
“We were joking, nothing more, nothing less. And this has turned into some kind of geopolitical catastrophe,” Macron said, denying claims of a domestic dispute.
The video, recorded by several international press agencies, captured the moment the presidential plane door opened on Sunday evening, showing the first lady’s arm pushing the president’s face.
