his kiss to Brigitte, the first lady overwhelmed by emotion

Emmanuel Macron won the second round of the presidential election on April 24, 2022. He beat Marine Le Pen with more than 58% of the vote. This victory was a real relief for the presidential majority, and the re-elected candidate and his entourage. Emmanuel Macron was at the Elysée in the village hall when the result was announced at 8 p.m. sharp, alongside his wife Brigitte Macron. Cry of joy, hand raised in sign of victory, sigh of relief, Emmanuel Macron could have, after the announcement of this victory, expressed his joy in many different ways. But as we could see in a photo posted on Instagram, it was towards his wife that he had his very first gesture. Indeed, immediately after the announcement of his re-election, he put an arm around Brigitte Macron’s shoulders, and kissed her on the cheek.

At the same time, the First Lady held her face in her hands, overwhelmed with emotion. Brigitte Macron indeed seemed deeply touched by this moment, and while the rest of the audience showed her joy, she was on the contrary in restraint and what seemed to be relief.

Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron inseparable

This very strong image was reinforced by another sequence that occurred a few minutes later. Indeed, Emmanuel Macron went to the Champs de Mars to deliver the traditional speech of the winner of the presidential election. And he chose to stay by Brigitte Macron’s side almost throughout this moment. We saw him hold his wife’s hand and walk in front of the Eiffel Tower to the stage. He went up alone and gave his speech alone, but as soon as it was over, he motioned for his wife to come up and join him, and it was together, hand in hand again, that they listened to the Marseillaise performed live by a singer, and that they greeted the French people who had come to acclaim the President. This very intimate photo, like the staging chosen for his speech, reinforces the image of a deeply united presidential couple. Emmanuel Macron reaffirms tacitly that it is not alone that he takes over the presidential function for the next 5 years, but supported by his rock for more than 20 years, his wife.
