The Paris Olympics are in full swing. The event has captured the world's attention and has been mired in controversy from the outset. It all began with the opening ceremony, which differed markedly from those seen in the past. One segment of the ceremony, titled "Festivite," was deemed offensive to the religious feelings of Catholics by some. The DJ involved became a target of attacks and received death threats.

Nevertheless, the controversy surrounding the opening event didn’t end there. World media took great interest in photos from the welcome of the French President and the Minister of Sports, in which you can see... their kiss.

The first to report on the matter was the website madame.lefigaro.fr in an article titled "The strange kiss between Amélie Oudéa-Castera and Emmanuel Macron that surprised internet users." According to the article, the sports minister couldn’t contain her excitement after the president opened the event. She wrapped her arms around the president’s neck and kissed him below the ear.

In the stands, Amélie Oudéa-Castera did not hide her joy over the success of this important event, which 85% of French people rated as "successful." She was seen grabbing the President by the neck and passionately kissing his cheek - the article reports.

The photos caused a stir among netizens, who rated the entire incident quite critically.

Amélie Oudéa-Castéra is known for enjoying creating buzz around herself. In mid-July, she decided to swim in the Seine to prove to everyone that athletes can swim in it. However, the event began with her falling into the water.
