“I don’t have to intervene”

Brigitte Macron does not necessarily want a second term. In any case, this is what journalist Gérard Davet told Gala magazine in October 2021. “Some relatives told us she longed for a simpler life“, explained the author of the book” Le Traître et le Néant. “Invited on the set of the television news of TF1 as part of the operation Yellow Pieces, Brigitte Macron vaguely broached the subject of a second term. According to him, Emmanuel Macron has not yet made his choice: “He wants to, but he hasn’t made up his mind. Like you, I await his decision“, she assures. The First Lady, however, wishes to clarify that she”do not try to influence him, to convince, to persuade.“”Because it is the story between the French and a man or a woman, I do not have to intervene. I forbid myself“, she insists.

When the journalist asks her if she wants the President of the Republic to continue for five years, she is very clear: “It does not come into play. I’m scheduled for five years, then I’ll see. “And to continue:”Either way, life with me has been extremely inventive. When you’re married to a man like Emmanuel Macron, every day has its share of surprises. I am in the present.“

“It’s a lie”

During the interview, the cyberstalking and the rumors of which Brigitte Macron was the victim are discussed. Indeed, on twitter, a transophobic theory according to which Brigitte Macron was born male under the surname Jean-Michel Troneux toured the social network, until finding itself in the top trends in December. “Obviously it’s a lie“, launches the First Lady. But filing a complaint is a real obstacle course as she details:”you need the screenshots, all of the reported comments are a bit long. There are those who broadcast, those who relay, those who host, we must cast a wide net. It took me five and a half days with experienced lawyers. Imagine if this happens to other people, how do they do it?“
