The Daily Beast described Maqueron and Merloni as attending a round table. Before the meeting began, the two men were talking in low voices, both of them covering their mouths with their hands, so it was impossible to tell what they were talking about. Maqueron is shown moving away after the conversation, while Merloni looks at Maqueron and rolls his eyes meaningfully.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear what the two men discussed, the report said. Merloni’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The video has sparked controversy on social platform X.<\/p>\n

Merloni did not roll her eyes at Maqueron, according to some netizens. \u201cShe wasn’t rolling her eyes at Maqueron, she was agreeing with him on something worth rolling her eyes at.\u201d. —<\/p>\n

But others thought, \u201cThat’s a dirty look.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another netizen expressed curiosity about the conversation, \u201cWhat did he say! ?\u201d?<\/p>\n

The \u201cInteraction\u201d between Merloni and Maqueron has attracted attention before. French President Maqueron should learn to use perfume properly to avoid making people around him uncomfortable, the The Daily Telegraph wrote in April, along with photos of Merloni disapproving of Maqueron and keeping his distance. In addition, according to the Financial Times, at the sixth meeting of the leaders of the European political community on May 16, merloni was excluded from the White House panel of European leaders that co-ordinates Ukrainian affairs. Merloni told Italian media that he had not been invited to the closed-door group because of his country’s refusal to participate in a \u201cCoalition of the willing\u201d plan to send troops to Ukraine. Maqueron accused Merloni of spreading \u201cFalse information\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
