French President Emmanuel Macron Slapped : Political Motivations and Stakes Involved

The French president Emmanuel #Macron has been #slapped in the face by an angry French. This slap in the face of the French president was of low strength, although it has been described by Emmanuel Macron and all the politics in France as "extreme violence". In comparison, daily killings, stabbings and rapes all across France are called "miscellaneous".
Who is the French slapper ? Described in the media as a far-right activist, royalist, Damien Tarel, 28, a fan of medieval martial arts, called himself a "radical right-wing patriot" and a member of the yellow vest movement for economic reasons.
When he slapped the French president, he shouted the battle cry of the French royalists "Montjoie Saint Denis !", which left an impression.
What is behind this slap of the French president Macron ? One year away from the French presidential elections in #France, is it a staged attack to discredit the right wing and specially supporters of Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally ?
