The Argentine delegation, late, could not greet the presidential couple at the exit of the plane. Instead, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron shook hands with two “yellow vests”.
The French President and his wife were visiting Buenos Aires, Argentina to attend the G20 summit. And it is a special welcome that was reserved last Wednesday, upon their arrival at the airport. Indeed, no official member of the Argentine delegation was present to greet the presidential couple. So not to let Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron take their first steps on a desert tarmac, they are two airport agents dressed in yellow safety vests with reflective tapes who welcomed them. A salute that particularly amused the French netizens, given the symbol of social protest that now represent yellow vests in Belgium and France.
Once the two handshakes were exchanged, the head of state and his companion boarded a car to take them out of the airport still without an official member of Argentina. Argentine Vice President Gabriela arrived a few minutes later. Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron, still on the tarmac, were able to get off the vehicle to be greeted in the protocol rules.
