A snapshot of the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Paris is currently gripping the whole of France. It shows President Emmanuel Macron and his Minister of Sport Amélie Oudéa-Castéra sharing an extremely intimate moment. Both embrace while the minister kisses the head of state on the cheek with his eyes closed.
In the photo, the two politicians look like lovers. The magazine “Madame Figaro” was the first to notice the photo. The minister “really grabbed Macron by the throat,” she said. Although the magazine’s editors found the kiss rather “strange,” “Midi Libre” Oudéa-Castéra said she was “exuberantly happy” with the successful start of the Olympic Games.
“That is not worthy of a president”
Since the photo appeared, there has been a heated debate on social media, not only about the kiss, but also about the other people present. For many observers, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, for example, is ‘demonstratively looking away’ and ‘ashamed’ (see X posting above). A user of the short message platform X said: “I find this photo indecent, it is not worthy of a president and a minister.”
Incidentally, Macron’s wife Brigitte, who can also be seen in other photos (see photo above), was also in the immediate vicinity of the kiss. The two protagonists are currently silent about the main subject of whispers.
