French President Emmanuel Macron has responded to the viral video accusing him of doing coc*ine with other world leaders.

Over the weekend, Macron met with Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer in an attempt to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine.

However, in a video that has now gone viral, Macron was seen removing a balled up white object from the table he was sat at with the other leaders.

This moment cause many online to accuse him of taking d*ugs.

What was the object, you may wonder? Well, it was a piece of tissue – not quite the scandal the internet has made it out to be.

On May 11, the Elysée Palace shared a post to dispel the rumor: “When European unity becomes inconvenient, disinformation goes so far as to make a simple tissue look like drugs.

“This fake news is being spread by France’s enemies, both abroad and at home. We must remain vigilant against manipulation.”

Despite the post, many are still wondering if this is true. One person responded:  “If it was a tissue, why did Macron attempt to hide it discreetly?

“And why did they all stop smiling and laughing, and began looking awkward and uncomfortable shortly after it was hidden?”

Another said: “It wasn’t the tissue that was the issue. It was the way Macron picked it up and hid it that raised suspicions. Nobody would do what he did if it was just a piece of tissue.”

Another suggested:  “Why is Mr. Macron not taking a dr*g test and prove the disinformation theorists wrong?”
