Two guards collapsed in front of Macron.
The embarrassment occurred at the Elysee Palace during a meeting with the President of Slovakia. First, one honor guard staggered, dropped his saber and fell to the floor, followed by a second soldier who lost consciousness.
While the daycare staff carried away the guards, a confused Macron simply raised his hands, hugged his Slovak counterpart and continued the ceremony as if nothing had happened. There are already jokes on social media that the guard simply did not live up to the general political tensions in France, where the president's approval rating has collapsed to 12%.
