Man Slaps President Macron On Pre-Election Walkabout

FRANCE

Wires and social media show a video clip of a member of the public slapping President Emmanuel Macron whilst he was on a walkabout in the southern Drome departement.

  • Macron has been touring smaller French regions in recent weeks in the run up to regional council elections that will take place on 20 and 27 June.
  • The president did not appear harmed by the incident.
  • The elections are seen as a key test of support for Macron and his centrist Republique En Marche! (REM)party ahead of next year's presidential election.
  • The previous regional council elections were held in 2015, before Macron formed REM or became president. This means that in most regions the Gaullist Les Republicains (or another miscellaneous centre-right party) or the centre-left Socialist Party (or other miscellaneous centre-left party) that have control. With REM and the far-right National Rally (RN) the two prominent parties in French politics today, there could be some significant shifts in regional power bases following the election.
