French President Emmanuel Macron attended a meeting at the Elysee Palace wearing sunglasses after reports of a red eye during his speech on January 15, Le Parisien newspaper reported.
“I apologize for these glasses, it's due to a small problem. I will have to wear them for a while, so you will have to bear with it," the president said on his arrival at the Elysée Palace on January 16.
On January 15, Macron made a speech in front of the troops at the Istres airbase in the south of the republic. As the newspaper noted, he left the plane with glasses, which he did not take off before entering the building.
