French President Emmanuel Macron has downplayed a video showing his wife, Brigitte, gently pushing him away just before they got off their plane in Southeast Asia. This video quickly became popular in France, leading to many guesses about their relationship. Macron stated the incident was merely a playful moment and was being exaggerated. He also warned that it highlights how easily false information can spread on social media, especially since manipulated videos have recently been used to circulate untrue stories about him. Both the President and his office maintained that the interaction was a private, friendly moment before their trip began.
