While in the United States, a battle of titans is taking place to know who will gain access to the White House, on the other side of the Atlantic, the atmosphere is more friendly at the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys. This Tuesday, November 5, Brigitte Macron went to the Star Academy to meet the students.

A visit which was nevertheless motivated by a serious subject, since the first lady wanted to exchange with these young academicians on school bullying. Accompanied by Justine Atlan, director of 3018 – the unique number for minor victims – Brigitte Macron presented several measures put in place to fight against this scourge.
For this meeting, Emmanuelle Macron's wife had set her sights on a particularly casual look. No suits or pencil skirts on the program, but a leather jacket with an original cut and bell-bottom jeans that were intended to be less traditional than the first lady's usual looks.
“When Emmanuel became…”: Brigitte Macron talks about school bullying
Mobilized on the subject of school bullying since 2017, Brigitte Macron explained to students why this cause was so close to her heart. “Me, it's the first subject that arrived on my desk. When Emmanuel became president, perhaps because I am a teacher, I received a lot of letters from students saying: 'Go on this subject, talk about it', that's how it all started“, says the latter.
She continues: “Afterwards, when I took over the presidency of the Fondation des Hôpitaux after Madame Chirac, I absolutely also wanted to take a huge interest in mental health children and adolescents. And I realized to what extent this harassment was a destabilizing factor.“
