Emmanuel Macron goes for the Zelensky look
Dressed in a hoodie
bearing the logo of an elite parachute unit, or with his head in his
hands as he deals with the current crisis, recent photos of President
Macron at work bear an uncanny resemblance to other wartime leaders —
but his critics are not convinced by the image being portrayed.
“The
Zelensky effect,” tweeted Raphael Grably, a reporter with BFM, the
rolling news channel, in response to the series of photos taken on
Sunday and published online by Soazig de la Moissonnière, 40, the
president’s official photographer, showing an unshaven Macron in his
office in the Elysée.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine, President Zelensky has ditched his suits for simple khaki hoodies and T-shirts.
