Macron certainly got the pulse of a nation.
President Macron is SLAPPED in the face during walkabout in France: Man shouting 'Down with Macronia' is bundled to the ground and arrested
Emmanuel Macron has been slapped across the face during a walkabout to greet voters in France today.
The assailant took the French President by the arm, appearing to stop him for a chat, before shouting: 'Down with Macronia' ('A Bas La Macronie') as he delivered the blow.
Bodyguards quickly seized upon the man and bundled him to the ground, as a member of Macron's security detail pulled the president to safety.
Two men were arrested following the incident outside a culinary school in the village of Tain-l'Hermitage in the Drome region where Macron had been meeting students to discuss how life is returning to normal after the Covid restrictions were eased.
The attack represents a serious security breach and overshadows the start of Macron's 'Tour de France' which he said was designed to 'take the pulse of the nation.'
