President Macron's Boxing Photos Stir Mixed Reactions
From Amusement to Consternation
Photos of French President Emmanuel Macron hitting a boxing bag have elicited a range of reactions, from amusement to bemusement and consternation. Released on Thursday, the moody black and white images depict Macron pounding a punching bag, arching eyebrows across Europe.
Muscle-Flexing and Punch-Throwing
Macron's foray into boxing comes after his recent flexing of muscles in the Ukraine crisis. Now, he has gone a step further, showcasing his bulging biceps in the boxing gym. The images have been met with a mix of praise and ridicule, reflecting the polarization surrounding the President's actions.
Political Boxing Tradition
Boxing holds a certain cachet among French politicians, with Macron's former prime minister Edouard Philippe being a passionate fighter. Philippe is known for his boxing skills, having posted videos of himself engaging in the sport. Macron's own boxing demonstration suggests a continuation of this political tradition.
