Macron dismisses clip of him being pushed by wife
A clip of French First Lady Brigitte Macron giving her husband Emmanuel Macron a push in the face as they get off a plane has gone viral, CNN reports.
In a statement, the president dismissed any suggestion that it was related to violence or an argument.
“There is a clip of me joking and teasing my wife and somehow it becomes a kind of global catastrophe that people come up with theories to explain,” he says.
The clip was filmed when the presidential couple landed in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi on a state visit.

EU anger over pride ban in Hungary – demands action
16 EU countries, including France, Germany and Sweden, are demanding that the European Commission take action against Hungary after Prime Minister Viktor Orbán banned pride parades. Politico reports.
The ban was voted through earlier this spring with the support of Orbán’s ruling Fidesz party and other far-right MPs. During the vote, liberal MPs threw smoke bombs.
The parliament voted in favor of the ban under the pretext of protecting children. Budapest Pride promises that a festival will be held in the capital this year no matter what.
“This is not protecting children, this is fascism,” they wrote in a statement when the ban was introduced.

Extreme May heat in Spain – up to 40 degrees awaits
Spain is preparing for temperatures of up to 40 degrees in the southern parts of the country during the last week of May, reports The Guardian.
“We are talking about temperatures that are between five and ten degrees above normal for this time of year,” says Rubén del Campo, spokesman for Spain’s meteorological office, Aemet.
The worst-hit areas are southeast Spain and the Ebro Valley in the northeast. The highest temperatures are expected along the Guadalquivir River in Andalusia.
– This is a direct consequence of climate change. The climate in Spain is not what it used to be. It has become extreme, says del Campo.
