Paris 2024, Emmanuel Macron and the case of the kiss with the Minister of Sport Oudéa-Castéra. The photo sparks social comments
French President Emmanuel Macron at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympicswhile he was in the authority gallery, received a kiss on the cheek from Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra (and former tennis player) which in the image surrounds his head.
A confidential gesture that did not escape the photographers’ lens and the photo that in a few hours went viral. Many comments on social media. Many are ironic. “They create bonds, these Games”; “At least one person who loves his boss, it’s nice to see”, “This is true team building”.
Madame Figaro, the magazine of the famous French daily newspaper, called it “étrange baiser” (“a strange kiss”). and The Midi Libre spoke of an outpouring “passionate in the exuberance of joy.”
Photo that has led to discussions and controversiesbut obviously it is the snapshot of an instant in the context of a moment of great emotional impact and happiness brought by the success of a very complicated event (and followed live across the globe) such as the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics (which moreover chose the Seine and the Parisian monuments as the theatre and not the ‘simpler’ parade at the stadium as has always been the case at the Games).
