Invited to the 1 p.m. news on TF1, Brigitte Macron defended her husband in the face of criticism aimed at him since the dissolution of the National Assembly.
On Wednesday January 8, 2025, the First Lady was the guest of journalist Marie-Sophie Lacarrau on TF1 at 1 p.m., alongside Didier Deschamps on the occasion of the 36th Yellow Coin collection operation.
Asked about the dissolution of the National Assembly, Brigitte Macron replied: “It is History which will ultimately say whether it should be done or not. Here, we are in the middle of upheavals, our noses a little too much to the grindstone, if you allow me the expression. We need to see what happens next. I followed his reasoning. He explained it to me.
What role does Brigitte Macron play with her husband?
He will “go to the end of his mandate”
She added that the French “are very anxious about the future because they do not understand the present.” According to Brigitte Macron, “let’s say that sometimes, what (Emmanuel Macron) hears hurts them. It’s very difficult, but he keeps it to himself. Before, he spoke much more easily. Now he doesn’t say what he feels. I understand that because if there is one thing that Emmanuel deserves, it is respect”.

“He cares about absolutely everything”
According to the First Lady, Emmanuel Macron “will go to the end” of his mandate because “this is the mission given to him by the French”. “It’s close to his heart, even if it’s hard to imagine. He will have held this position for eight years. I’ve never seen it completely unplugged, even for a day. He cares about absolutely everything. He puts all his intelligence and all his heart at the service of the French. I can’t say if he’s right or wrong, that’s not my subject, but I can say his daily life. And I can say that his daily life is the French.”
