Where’s Macron? French president disappears amid election crisis

The last time Emmanuel Macron was spotted in public, he was sporting a dark aviator’s jacket, Top Gun sunglasses and a black baseball cap.

His incognito rock star look, as he voted in the coastal town of Le Touquet Sunday, attracted plenty of attention on social media and rolling news channels.

But despite that moment of swagger, the truth is that Macron has taken a step back from public view lately. Apart from planned international commitments, he hasn’t been seen out and about for almost two weeks.
