In relation to this, a lot of discussions are happening on the internet about a photograph showing French President Emmanuel Macron and his sports minister Amélie, Oudéa-Castéra in what appeared to be an intimate moment during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The images show Macron, 46 firmly holding onto the former professional tennis player cum Minister of Sports who is also aged 46.
Oudéa-Castéra reacts to this with one hand on his biceps and another around his neck as they kiss in the picture.
Placing Prime Minister Gabriel Attal in such an awkward position makes matters worse as he seems to intentionally avoid looking at them.
“Gabriel Attal he pretends not seeing it! He doesn’t know where to stand!” one user commented.
Another said, “It’s like my lover I’m kissing. So embarrassing.”
A displeased person stated, “I find this photo indecent for a president and a minister.”
The enchanting photo was made public by French magazine Madame Figaro which described it as ‘bizarre’ and insinuated that AOC has had publicity stunts before as it is popularly known in France.
As France’s first Olympic games in a century came alive so did Oudéa-Castéra take charge.
Oudéa-Casète swam in Seine River recently due to higher levels of E Coli bacteria found here which hosts many events during the upcoming games but last Sunday’s pre-race triathlon event was cancelled due to water quality problems.
This was after she was appointed by President Macron as France’s education minister only to be fired less than four weeks later. This decision followed her exposure for sending her children into elite private schools while at the same time making negative comments about local public schools.
Though some users from X showed their disapproval toward that victory embrace some others reacted positively. “A little warm congrats to commemorate the moment,” defended one user.
