Emmanuel Macron: The French President was accused of taking drugs on live TV

Five years after his election, Emmanuel Macron is back on the campaign trail. To try to win back the hearts of the French, the president is touring France to talk about Covid-19, ecology and purchasing power. On a trip to Mulhouse on Tuesday, April 12 2022, a carer who had the opportunity to meet him said on BFMTV that he had ‘glassy eyes’

‘I think he is enhanced’

The LREM candidate Emmanuel Macron was in the Haut-Rhin this Tuesday, April 12, 2022, to meet with caregivers in a rehabilitation centre for the disabled in Mulhouse. The head of state thus returned to the health crisis and its consequences on the hospital.

During his walkabout, he was questioned by Yvan Kamla, an intensive care assistant and representative of the CGT Santé. The latter, questioned afterwards by BFMTV journalists, returned to his discussion with the President of the Republic. Then, the grey-haired man suddenly assures that Brigitte Macron's husband takes drugs.

He said:

The carer in me will speak. Let me tell you, I saw a man in front of me who was a bit glassy-eyed, he looked tired to me. I think he's boosted.

Macron's buzz on social networks for several days

On social networks, Internet users seem to agree with Yvan Kamla's claims.

Some of the tweets read:

Who can doubt it for a second?
His crazy look. He looks like a drug addict. He's scary.
He forced us to do PCRs, we should ask him for an anti-drug test.
He's boosted, journalists already know it, an open secret.

This is not the first time that some French people have asked questions about Emmanuel Macron's sobriety. A day before, on April 11 2022, a sequence of CNEWS had already buzzed on the networks where the president seems lost for a few seconds.
