Lagarde’s bandages due to a ‘little skin cancer,’ not ‘kick-boxing in Thailand’

Christine Lagarde announced her departure from the European Central Bank in February, drawing attention to bandages on her face from a recent surgery. She clarified on social media that the bandages were due to a minor procedure related to skin cancer. In a humorous internal message to ECB staff, she reassured them about her appearance, stating it was not due to kick-boxing but rather a necessary medical intervention. Lagarde emphasized the importance of regular skin checks.
