Emmanuel Macron is sometimes “bruised” by “what he hears”, even though he “deserves” “respect”, declared his wife Brigitte Macron in an interview broadcast on Wednesday by TF1.
During this interview carried out on the occasion of the annual launch of the “Yellow Pieces” operation, she was questioned about the Head of State, his relationship with the French, the dissolution or even his desire to see things through to the end. his mandate.
Has he changed? “Change, no. Let’s say that sometimes what he hears hurts him. It’s very difficult. But he doesn’t say it. He keeps it to himself. Before, he spoke much more easily. Now he doesn’t say it. not. And I understand that because if there is one thing that Emmanuel deserves, it is respect,” Brigitte Macron told the 1 p.m. newspaper.
The dissolution of the National Assembly, on which the president made his mea culpa during his New Year’s greetings? “I think that it is History which will ultimately give the meaning of this dissolution, whether it should be done or not done (…) We have to see a little bit what happens next. I think that “we are too much, sorry for that expression, with our noses to the handlebars”, replied his wife.
“It’s not up to me to say what I think, I’ve never said it, I’ll never say it,” she insisted.
However, she added that she thought that the dissolution was one of the “factors” of “anxiety” which complicated the lives of the French, whom she said felt “anxious” and “a little bit lost”.
“They need meaning” because “everyday life is very difficult,” said Brigitte Macron. “Where we talk about France best is when I travel: abroad, France seems a land of plenty where we have health, we have education, we are helped, we have everything” , she reported.
Asked to say whether the head of state will be able to complete his mandate, she in turn brushed aside any hypothesis of resignation. “He said that he was going to the end because that was the mission that the French had given him. And he has the French so much at heart (…). He cares about absolutely everything and he puts all her intelligence, all her heart in the service of the French,” she assured.
