Is Brigitte to blame? Macron’s sunglasses steal the spotlight at Davos

In the age of social media, an image can stir emotions much faster than words and the sight of the French President sporting reflective aviator sunglasses while speaking to the World Economic Forum at Davos literally went around the planet in seconds, Euronews writes.

Whatever words came out of his mouth were secondary for many who wondered ‘why on earth is he wearing dark glasses indoors?’ Had he been fooling around and “slapped” again by Brigitte? Or had he perhaps taken a blow in the boxing ring?

According to French media, Macron may have a sub-conjunctival haemorrhage, which is the bursting of a blood vessel in the protective tissue covering the eye.

While, in his speech, the French president addressed several key issues. He denounced a “world without rules,” saying he preferred “respect rather than bullies”, and called on Europe not to give in to the law of the strongest; all without ever mentioning the name of Donald Trump.

The French president has been appearing in front of cameras wearing sunglasses since last week, when he met with the French Air and Space Force.
