Earlier, Macron's official photographer published a series of behind-the-scenes shots ahead of the second round of the presidential election. In one of the photos, the French president is sitting on a sofa and smiling. Macron is seen in a white unbuttoned shirt, and trousers.

Readers of the British Daily Mail reacted very violently to the photo: "This is to appeal to the younger audience? Is chest hair in a politician what young voters want to see?!", "He is such an oddball", "So so desperate", "Put it away".

The first round of the presidential elections in France took place on April 10th: Macron had 27.84 percent of the vote, and Marine Le Pen, the leader of the far-right party, National Rally, received 23.15 percent. The second round will take place on April 24th.
