According to Le Monde, Emmanuel Macron and those close to him would have created a relatively toxic atmosphere regarding Matignon when Gabriel Attal was Prime Minister.
POLITICS – In the midst of political agitation for the formation of a government around François Bayrou and Emmanuel Macron’s trip to Mayotte after the passage of Cyclone Chido on Saturday on the French archipelago, the investigation unveiled by The World could have gone unnoticed. Well almost.
Published on Wednesday, this first part of a four-part series on the French head of state is starting to cause a stir. Taking into account, among other things, the revelations reported in this first chapter entitled “ The president and his double »where the language of Emmanuel Macron is particularly called into question, also including homophobic remarks when Gabriel Attal still held his position at Matignon.
Revelations which have already caused LGBTQ+ associations to react since according to Le Monde “the Élysée had baptized Matignon the cage of crazy people” during this period. A barely veiled reference to the homosexuality of the youngest Prime Minister of the Fifth Republic. Asked by HuffPost the entourage of the head of state initially refused to comment. But a few hours later, “the Élysée firmly and absolutely denies this,” we were told.
« The ‘boys club’ has created a bedroom atmosphere at the palace. With them, we are far from the sacred and the transcendent… In the evening, the president meets them to distract himself after exhausting days. ‘Little queer’, ‘grande tarlouze’… This is how they talk to each other, by text messages or over their Japanese or Scottish whiskeys ”, we can also read in this detailed account of “ the confusing evolution of the head of state ».
Faced with these facts, the former writer of the Head of State Jonathan Guémas, now special advisor in charge of communications for the French presidency, explains − “ embarrassed » − in this article that these are remarks “ in the 15,000th ” degree. LGBT rights associations will appreciate it.
