Macron Dismisses Video of Wife's Push as 'Nonsense'

French President Emmanuel Macron has dismissed a video circulating online, which appears to show him being pushed in the face by his wife, Brigitte Macron, as he exited a plane in Vietnam. Speaking to reporters, Macron downplayed the incident, labeling it as "nonsense." He stated that the real issue was the reaction it sparked online, which he sees as part of a larger trend of disinformation spread by what he described as "crazy people."

The video quickly gained traction on social media, prompting speculation and commentary. However, Macron's office has maintained that the incident was insignificant and that the president was more concerned about the broader implications of online misinformation and the rapid spread of unverified claims. Macron has been a vocal critic of disinformation campaigns and their potential to undermine public trust and distort political discourse. This incident comes amidst ongoing efforts by the French government to combat the spread of fake news and promote media literacy.
