This is freedom to make contact between human beings. This is not slapping. This is face touching...

' If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, give them the left too ''
Gospel of Matthew chapter 5. He wanted to feel the pulse of France, well he surely got its hand !!!

[kelyongss]

Very good. He deserved to get slap from the unknown activist. He got to remove from his President post. He is not suitable to take care of France and its citizens.

[safiaakhlaq]

Freedom of expression he deserved it hope more such gifts comes in future for him

[naeemkhan]

The Head of such a head of state is out of state and needs such slaps to bring him in the right state.

[ongernie]

His bodyguard is just slow to react. He use to be idiotic.

[mdmasud]

It's his freedom to express his feelings and so he slapped machron.

[troylouis]

My question would be, what did this guy do to his citizens to make this man want to smack him?

[MARINVIEW]

The guy who slapped him has to work on his slapping skills he should go to Turkey 🇹🇷 and take few classes on Ottoman slapping ways.
