This is an extraordinary sequence from the Fifth Republic. In the work The chef’s surpriseto be published Wednesday October 9, the editorial staff of Politico dissects the behind the scenes of the dissolution of the National Assembly by Emmanuel Macron, four months earlier. In this context, Pauline de Saint Remy, the head of the political service, answered questions from L’ExpressThursday October 3. The journalist spoke at length about the President of the Republic’s entourage to our colleagues. “What is certain is that since the start of his first five-year term, many have distanced themselves from him”she assured, referring to her advisors. She also spoke about the role played by her wife, Brigitte Macron, evoking the supposed hostility of the First Lady towards a politician.
In the columns of the weekly news magazine, Pauline de Saint Remy remembered that Brigitte Macron was beside herself, at the end of the evening of the second round of the legislative elections. And for good reason, “the ‘regicide’ of François Ruffin, the first to invoke the Popular Front, finally saved his skin in his Somme constituency”. The head of the political service ensures that the former French teacher “hated”. The First Lady would criticize him for having claimed, on the sidelines of the Yellow Vest crisis in 2018, that Emmanuel Macron “would end up like Kennedy”. Remember that in 1963, John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated in Dallas at the age of 46.

In a book titled This country that you don’t know and published in February 2019, François Ruffin made some revelations, discussing his career and that of the President of the Republic. The work, presented as “an unauthorized biography”promised readers to put Emmanuel Macron “oh no”. The MP used extremely strong qualifiers to describe this former school friend, whom he said was a “imposture”a man “vide”.
