Almost eight years ago, Emmanuel Macron succeeded François Hollande as President of the Republic. Thanks to this election, the former Minister of the Economy was put a little more in the spotlight. The French then discovered his wife, Brigitte Macron, his most loyal support. And far from the first lady’s idea of only making up the numbers for the president. This is how it notably became the president of the Hospital Foundation in 2019, supported by Didier Deschamps, with whom she leads the fight for the Yellow Pieces with a masterful hand.
This Wednesday, January 8, Brigitte Macron and Didier Deschamps, who announced that he would no longer be coach of the French football team from 2026, were invited to the 1 p.m. set of TF1. The first lady and the 1998 world champion answered questions from journalist Marie-Sophie Lacarrau in particular about Operation Yellow Pieces which they defend and which they launched in Bordeaux that same day. Brigitte Macron took the opportunity to remind us that all the credit should be attributed to Bernadette Chirac, without whom this event would not take place: “She’s the one who started all this, she recalls. I have a very special thought for her today.” A special broadcast from Great animator competition presented by Arthur will also be broadcast on TF1 on January 14 with, as guest of honor, Brigitte Macron of course.
The one who succeeded Jean-Pierre Pernaut at the helm of the TF1 newspaper obviously questioned Brigitte Macron on the Yellow Pieces operation but not only that. During the conversation, she mentioned the President of the Republic, a subject to which Brigitte Macron did not refuse to answer.
Emmanuel Macron remained the same but…
Marie-Sophie Lacarrau wanted to know if Emmanuel Macron had changed after spending eight years at the Élysée Palace. And the response from his wife Brigitte Macron was not long in coming. She affirms that if her husband has not changed since he became head of state, he is no longer really the same either. In any case, it no longer really works in the same way as before: “Let’s just say that sometimes what he hears hurts him. It’s very difficult but he doesn’t say it, he keeps it to himselfshe said, pointing to a change in her behavior when faced with this type of situation. Before, he spoke much more easily. Now he doesn’t say it and that I understand because if there is one thing that Emmanuel deserves, it is respect.” Words that will undoubtedly go straight to the president’s heart.
