Tukio hilo limemtokea akiwa Ziarani huko Tain-l’Hermitage, Drôme Nchini Ufaransa. Watu wawili akiwemo mwanaume mmoja mwenye umri wa miaka 28 na yule aliyemchapa kibao Rais Macron wameshikiliwa na jeshi la Polisi
Baada ya Mwanaume huyo kumpiga Kofi, walinzi waliingilia kati na kumuondoa Kiongozi huyo wa Nchi
Hata hivyo,hakuna sababu zilizoelezwa kuwa chanzo cha tukio hilo.
The footage, shared by CNN-affiliate BFM, showed Macron walking up to a metal fence and clasping the arm of a man in the crowd as he began to greet onlookers in the village of Tain-l’Hermitage, in the Drôme region of France.
The man, while gripping Macron’s arm, then slapped the President across his left cheek while yelling for the end of “Macronie” — a pejorative term used in the French press for Macron’s presidency.
Macron’s security detail quickly intervened, tackling the man while pulling the president away from the metal barrier.
“A man indeed tried to hit the President of the Republic,” the Elysee said in a statement to CNN. “We have no further comments at this point. Exchanges with the crowd and handshakes resumed. The trip continues.”
Moments before slapping Macron, the perpetrator also shouted, “Montjoie! Saint-Denis!,” a medieval battle-cry used by the Capetian royal dynasty, which ruled France from the 10th to the 18th century.
The motto is also widely known in France for being a line from 1993 fantasy comedy film Les Visiteurs, in which a 12th-century knight and his squire magically travel in time to the 90s and find themselves adrift in modern society.
Two 28-year-old men, including the man who slapped Macron and another accompanying him, were placed in police custody at 1.45 p.m. local time for alleged violence against a person holding public authority, the prosecutor’s office of the city of Valence told CNN.
Far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who is Macron’s biggest political opponent, said physically attacking the President was “unacceptable,” during a Tuesday press conference.
