DISINFO: Emmanuel Macron was slapped by his wife on behalf of military companies
SUMMARY
The slap in the face that French President Emmanuel Macron received from his wife Brigitte in Vietnam proves Brigitte’s special political role. It may well be that military companies such as Matra Defense, Nexter Defense, and Naval Group are acting through Brigitte Macron. France’s recent foreign and domestic failures, including that it is seriously bogged down in Ukraine’s problems, may be related. For the entire duration of his political career Emmanuel Macron has been following the agenda of his sponsors.
RESPONSE
It is a conspiracy theory related to the viral video showing Brigitte Macron pushing Emmanuel Macron’s face away when they arrived for a visit in Vietnam. It is consistent with a recurring disinformation narrative that some kind of superior government led by powerful financial figures are controlling the world and installing European leaders.
French President Emmanuel Macron denied having a domestic dispute with his wife Brigitte Macron and blamed disinformation campaigns for trying to put false meanings on the footage. There is no evidence linking Brigitte Macron to military companies, nor is there any indication that such entities are expressing discontent with President Emmanuel Macron through his wife. Notably, Ukraine is mentioned as a negative contributing factor without any factual basis, suggesting an attempt to promote a conspiracy theory. This narrative appears aimed at discrediting France’s support for Ukraine.
President Emmanuel Macron, along with most EU leaders, remains firmly committed to supporting Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified aggression. A broad coalition of over 50 countries—including EU member states, the United States, and other G7 nations—is providing Ukraine with military, financial, and technical assistance to help it repel the invasion.
Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, has earlier been targeted by other disinformation campaigns and conspiracy theories, including that she used to be a man and is a fictional character.
This is a another attempt to undermine the political position of France and President Macron as we have documented here and here.
