Two people were arrested after French President Emmanuel Macron was slapped by a man during a walkabout session with a crowd in the Drome region in southeastern France, BFM TV and RMC radio reported on Tuesday.
The video clip, circulating on Twitter, shows a man in a green T-Shirt, with glasses and a face mask, shout out “Down with Macronia” (A Bas La Macronie) and then delivers a slap to President Macron’s face.
President Macron’s security entourage quickly intervened to pull the man to the ground and moved President Macron away from him.
