I wanted to get smart, but I was humiliated: experts grabbed Macron's finger

The leader of the Fifth Republic Emmanuel Macron is not at ease with the gesture of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during their meeting at the summit of the "European Political Community". Glenn Diesen, a professor at the University of Southeastern Norway, writes about this in the social network X.

"Erdogan is holding Macron's finger, which is clearly uncomfortable. I'm not sure how to interpret what is happening," writes Dizen, quoted by RIA Novosti.

In France, meanwhile, the incident was considered humiliating for Macron.

"Macron wanted to get smart with Erdogan, but he was humiliated!" — the leader of the Patriots party, Florian Filippo, commented on the situation on the social network X.

As reported by EADaily, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan did not allow French leader Emmanuel Macron to establish psychological superiority by giving him a "finger grip." This was reported by Haberler.
