"Macron's slap was an innocent joke" - Elysee Palace

The slap that Macron received from his wife on the plane was an innocent joke. The Elysee Palace has issued a special statement about this.

Earlier, footage was released of the French president being slapped by his wife Brigitte before getting off the plane.

“The video shows the moment when the president and his wife were relaxing joking before the start of the trip,” the Elysee Palace said in a statement.
