The clash took place in the village of Tain-l’Hermitage in front of the hotel’s secondary school, which Macron attended. Although the video looks like an intervention in the video, according to AFP, the president’s collaborators insist that it was just an “slapping attempt”. Police detained two men in connection with the attack.
