"It's become a kind of planetary catastrophe" - Macron commented on the incident with his wife
![]() 962 Tuesday, 27 May, 2025, 11:34 "We were squabbling," and "joking." On an official visit to Vietnam, French President Emmanuel Macron responded to the controversial video that seemed to show his wife, Brigitte, slapping him before they exited the presidential plane in Hanoi. "My wife and I were squabbling, we were rather joking, and I was taken by surprise," Macron told reporters in Hanoi. Now it's "become a kind of planetary catastrophe, and some are even coming up with theories," he said. Macron referred to other incidents, including the images shot on a train to Kyiv where some accounts falsely claimed he shared cocaine with Merz and Starmer. "You can make a video say a lot of stupid things (...) For the past three weeks, there are people who watched videos and think that I shared a bag of cocaine, that I went head to head with a Turkish president and now, that I'm having a fight with my wife," he said. "None of this is true. Yet all three videos are real", Macron told. |
