Bernadette Chirac has not appeared in public for years. According to a famous journalist, his daughter Claude, would do everything possible so that his state of health is not known to everyone.
For years, and the death of Jacques Chirac, his widow has been very discreet. Physically impaired, Bernadette Chirac has not been seen in public since 2018, when she was in a wheelchair. Regularly, it is his daughter who gives his news in the media but also Brigitte Macron, who has taken over as head of the Fondation des Hôpitaux de France. In the columns of ParisianThursday, January 12, the wife of Emmanuel Macron explained to have heard from the former First Lady “by her daughter Claude who takes great care of her”. “Madame Chirac is always very moved by the feedback from the Yellow Piecesshe added. This operation remains very dear to his heart and she still follows this news a lot.”
If news of Bernadette Chirac is therefore rare, it is partly because her daughter does not run the media. Unless she’s hiding her true condition? This theory is that of a journalist who knew the Chirac family very well, Catherine Nay. “I got along very well with his mother but as soon as his father started to be ill, she dismissed the journalists, launched the journalist, guest of the show Chez Jordan. She took it away from the guests instead, she closed the doors.” According to her, Claude Chirac followed the same pattern with his famous mother. “And it was the same with his mother who is still very fragile. Perhaps some close friends see Bernadette but in any case, no journalist”she assured this Thursday, January 19.
Bernadette Chirac “extremely moved, upset even”
Still according to Catherine Nay, “Claude put his parents under glass” : “She became the protector, it was she who did not want the French and journalists to be able to see that their image was deteriorating”. According to the latest news, Bernadette Chirac was going “as it can go”, in the words of his daughter. Interviewed by La Montagne, Claude Chirac explained that his mother had been overwhelmed by the tributes paid to the former President of the Republic. “Thanks to all these people who came spontaneously, it was a less difficult moment to overcome and for my mother in particular, she assured. She was extremely moved, upset evento see these images with all these women, these men and even these children who have lined up like that sometimes for a very long time to come and simply say goodbye to him.
