No rest for Emmanuel Macron.

This Sunday evening, the Head of State was in the Golden Salon of the Élysée Palace to make international calls, while the war in Ukraine is raging.

An evening immortalized by his photographer Soazig de la Moissonnière, who revealed the pictures on his Instagram account.

Something to make internet users react, surprised to see Emmanuel Macron … Dressed in a casual sweatshirt.

Emmanuel Macron swaps the suit and tie for a casual look.

Sunday evening, the President of the Republic was at his office in the Golden Salon of the Élysée Palace to deal with the hot topics of the moment, making several international calls.

An evening immortalized by the official photographer of Emmanuel Macron, Soazig de la Moissonnière.

A set of color and black and white shots, on which Emmanuel Macron appears very focused and upset.

But what particularly caught the attention of Internet users was not so much this Sunday evening spent on the phone, but rather her rather unusual and unexpected outfit.

Indeed, Emmanuel Macron appeared in a black sweatshirt marked "CAP10" (an elite unit) and blue jeans, the antithesis of his head of state costumes.

"It's a fake", assures a user

Internet users reacted to the clichés, amused or annoyed by this presidential publicity stunt.

For some, Emmanuel Macron sought to imitate his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine who takes part in clashes with his army on the ground to defend his country against the attack of Russia.

During his official speeches and his informal communication via social networks, he appears in a T-shirt or in soldier's uniform. 

Our president, he suffers so much he works alongside Zelensky for peace. #ComPol.

If Macron takes a picture of himself wearing a teenage hooded sweater, it is to try to reach an audience other than the over 80s.

There have been many reactions on Twitter, since the publication of photos of Emmanuel Macron, who will present his electoral program this Thursday: "It's confirmed, he thinks he is Zelensky and it's even more serious than we thought...", "The Macron sweater is stylish. It's decided, I'm voting for him", "If Macron takes a picture of himself with a teenager's hooded sweater, it's to try to reach an audience other than the over 80s ", "I see photos of Macron in a CPA 10 sweater in high school mode at the English oral. Is it a fake? slim... A real sketch, dude!"

Mixed reactions.
