Two people have been arrested in southeast France after French President Emmanuel Macron was slapped in the face by a man in the crowd in Tain-l’Hermitage.
A video clip circulating on Twitter shows a man in a green tshirt and glasses shout “Down with Macronia” in French before slapping Macron’s face.
