Incident draws widespread condemnation
French President Emmanuel Macron was slapped in the face while greeting a crowd in southeast France on Tuesday, a security scare that drew widespread condemnation ahead of regional elections this month. Video footage on social media showed Mr. Macron approach a barrier to meet and shake hands with voters, where a man in a green T-shirt took hold of his elbow and said a few words before slapping him. Mr. Macron’s bodyguards quickly intervened and two people were detained afterwards, local officials said.More Related News
