The president was stretching his hands to greet a man in a small crowd of onlookers and rather than receive the handshake, the man, who was dressed in a green T-shirt, glasses, and a face mask, held Macron’s outstretched hand and slapped the left side of his face.
However, a similar event occurred again on Sunday, November 20, 2022, as Macron was slapped by a woman.
In the video making the rounds online, the unidentified woman slapped Macron in the face before officers quickly move in and pulled her away from the president.
