Two guards collapsed right in front of Macron.
During a meeting between the President of France and the President of Slovakia Peter Pellegrini at the Elysee Palace, one of the honor guards suddenly staggered, dropped his saber and fell on the stairs.
The officer was quickly taken from the scene. A few moments later, the second guard also fell ill, but his fall was not caught on camera.
The reasons for the fainting and the condition of the military personnel have not yet been reported.
