The truth behind the video of Emmanuel Macron with the "white bag" on the train is revealed

A strange video showing French President Emmanuel Macron, who appears to be hiding something suspicious, has gone viral.

Macron was meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, as well as Germany's Friedrich Merz, on his way to Ukraine over the weekend.

However, it is not the content of their political discussion that seems to have interested anyone – it was what Merz and Macron seem to have hidden moments before the official photos were taken.

It's unbelievable how thousands of accounts are accusing Macron and Merz of doing cocaine on the train back from Kyiv — when all the video shows is them clearing a table of a stirrer and a tissue before the media began taking photos.

According to users, Macron quickly removes what looks like a "white bag", while Merz hides a "pipe".

When European unity becomes inconvenient, disinformation goes so far as to make a simple tissue look like drugs.

However, the "suspicions" were quickly dismissed by all those with keen eyes, as one said it was a "dirty napkin that he's removing before a picture is taken."

Multiple media outlets have published high-quality images of the meeting, which also clearly show a napkin being removed from Macron. /Telegraph/
