Emmanuel Macron

Emmanuel Macron is a French politician who has been serving as the President of France since May 2017. Born on December 21, 1977, in Amiens, France, Macron was a civil servant and investment banker before entering politics. He is the youngest president in French history, having assumed office at the age of 39.

Before becoming president, Macron served as Minister of the Economy, Industry, and Digital Affairs under President François Hollande from 2014 to 2016. He founded the centrist political movement "La République En Marche!" in 2016, which rapidly gained popularity and led to his election as President in 2017. Macron's presidency has been marked by efforts to reform France's economy, labor laws, and pension system, as well as his strong stance on European integration and global issues like climate change.

Macron's tenure has not been without controversy; he has faced significant protests, most notably the "Yellow Vest" movement, which began in 2018 as a reaction to fuel taxes but evolved into broader discontent with his government's policies. Macron has also played a prominent role in international diplomacy, positioning himself as a key figure in the European Union and on the global stage.

A viral video that was falsely claimed to show French President Emmanuel Macron dancing with his wife, Brigitte Macron.

BOOM found that the video was actually an old clip from the popular US dance show 'So You Think You Can Dance,' originally aired in 2016. The video was misleadingly revived and circulated with false claims about Macron.
