Macron and sports minister kiss sparks Olympic scandal

The Paris Olympics are in full swing. The event, which has the attention of the entire world, has been mired in controversy from the start. It began with the opening ceremony, which differed from those we have seen before. One part of the ceremony, titled "Festivite," was deemed offensive to the religious feelings of some Catholics. The DJ who participated in it became a target of attacks and received death threats.

Nevertheless, the controversy surrounding the opening event didn't end there. World media examined photos from the welcome of the French President and the Minister of Sports, which captured their kiss.

The first to report on the matter was the website madame.lefigaro.fr in an article titled "The strange kiss between Amélie Oudéa-Castéra and Emmanuel Macron that surprised internet users." According to the article, the sports minister couldn’t contain her excitement after the president opened the event. She wrapped her arms around the president’s neck and kissed him below the ear.

In the stands, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra did not hide her joy over the success of this important event, which 85% of French people rated as "successful." She was seen grabbing the president by the neck and passionately kissing his cheek - the article notes.

The photos caused a stir among netizens, who rated the incident quite critically.
