“If things go wrong…”

While she has just launched the 36th edition of the Yellow Pieces, Brigitte Macron occupies the media space more than ever. On newsstands this Thursday, January 23, Paris Match returns to the impact of the dissolution of the National Assembly on the First Lady.

Brigitte Macron does not “will let more happen”. At least that's what she would have repeated several times to those close to her in recent months. This desire to no longer silently accept criticism of her and that of her husband, which she believes is unjustified, was accentuated by the surprise dissolution of the National Assembly in June 2024. In the columns of Paris Matchon newsstands this Thursday, January 23, a close friend confides that this period has “bruised” : “Whenshe uses this term on the set of TF1 about Emmanuel [Macron] she is actually talking about herself. »

This summer, Brigitte Macron reportedly feared that the violent Yellow Vest demonstrations in 2018, which led demands to the gates of the Élysée, would happen again. The weekly thus reports the call that the First Lady made to a relative in July, only half joking: “Book me a room at your place if things go wrong.” »

Brigitte Macron distressed by the repercussions of the dissolution

On TF1 to launch the 36th edition of Operation Yellow Pieces at the beginning of January, the First Lady returned to Emmanuel Macron's decision to give the choice back to the French, following the European elections. Asked by Marie-Sophie Lacarrau about the repercussions of this dissolution on her husband, she replied: “He hasn’t changed. Let's just say that sometimes what he hears hurts him. It's very difficult, but he doesn't say it. He keeps to himself, before he spoke much more easily, now he doesn't say it. » Always as protective of her husband, she insisted: “I understand because there is one thing that Emmanuel deserves, and that is respect. »

Brigitte Macron unhappy and resentful? His blunt response to the rumors

During this same interview, Brigitte Macron made a point of denying certain comments she made and which have been reported in various media in recent months. “Some newspapers attribute sentences to me that I don’t say. I never told anyone what I thought about [la dissolution] »she assured, annoyed. In Paris Match this Thursday, a source ” close ” said she felt a certain uneasiness in the former literature professor. “She will never say it openly, it’s not her character, but I have a feeling she’s not doing very well. »

However, Brigitte Macron's current mood would be far from being so gloomy. “It’s not the state of mind, quite the contrary”indicates his entourage, contacted by Gala. The magazine also reports his absence, far from being insignificant according to certain informants, at the farewell party of seven employees in charge of the Palace's communications. But on the side of the First Lady, we recall that on December 6, for the farewell party of Clément Leonarduzzi, advisor to Emmanuel Macron and one of the architects of his re-election, she was quite simply in Marseille for the inauguration of the solidarity warehouse of the CMA-CGM Foundation. As for January 15, for the other start in question, she was in Montpellier for the Yellow Pieces with Didier Deschamps. “She doesn’t have the gift of ubiquity! She always attends the ceremonies when she is in Paris”we are told.
