The French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal can also be seen awkwardly looking the other way as the two get closer.

According to The Telegraph, a prominent French publication, Madame Fiagro called the picture ‘strange’ and asserted that Oudea-Castera “certainly knows how to get people talking about her.”

The internet also clearly did not like the movement between president and minister, as a user wrote, “Gabriel Attal, he pretends to look elsewhere! He doesn’t know where to stand!”

The other showed disapproval, saying, “I find this photo indecent, it’s not worthy of a president and a minister.”

The third one asked, “What's this kiss between Oudéa and Macron??!” while the other commentator added, “Brigitte (Macron's wife) won’t like it.”
