Macron's slap was not without cause - Peskov

The spokesperson for the Russian president had to comment on Macron being slapped.

Pavel Zalubin, a reporter from the Russian state television (VGTRK), interviewed the spokesperson for the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, regarding the incident where French President Emmanuel Macron was allegedly slapped by his wife Brigitte.

"You know, I always thought it was inappropriate to comment on the domestic affairs of the Macron couple," Peskov initially declined to comment.

But then he added: "On the other hand, if a wife slaps her husband, she wouldn't do so without reason. But it's none of our business."

It is reported that the video clip of Macron being slapped has spread across the internet, triggering extensive discussions and meme creations. The incident occurred after the aircraft carrying the French delegation landed in Vietnam, taking place directly inside the cabin. In the footage, someone slapped Macron, while his wife Brigitte was not seen in the camera frame, but everyone immediately speculated that it could only be her. Macron appeared flustered and tried to cover up the situation. It remains unclear what caused the conflict between the couple.

It is worth mentioning that former US President Donald Trump commented on the video of Brigitte Macron slapping French President Emmanuel Macron, stating that private relationships should remain private.
