It was unthinkable, at the time, to see Georges Pompidou, François Mitterand, or even Jacques Chirac, communicate on social networks. Quite simply because during their mandate, these platforms did not exist. But today, Twitter, Instagram, or even TikTok, have become important media, even for Heads of State. Emmanuel Macron communicates a lot about these to inform citizens and discuss his projects. On the other hand, with regard to his companion Brigitte Macron, this one does not have any account.
A rarity for our times. Especially since the wife of the President of the Republic works a lot for France and could use social networks to highlight his projects. But that could be about to change. Brigitte Macron blows her 70th candle this Thursday, April 13 and could well take advantage of this important passage to move into the digital age. Moreover, the First Lady would not be reluctant to this idea as she had been able to entrust it to Sophie Davant during an interview with the journalist in January 2023 for “S, Sophie Davant’s magazine”.

Brigitte Macron soon (finally) on social networks?
“I will certainly go there to highlight the initiatives that I carry or that I support”she said before mentioning some accounts that impersonate her: “There are also a lot of fake accounts with my identity, some that hide scams. My account will also hopefully limit this”. The one who was entitled to a nice gift from her daughter Tiphaine Auzière, should take advantage of the opening of her social networks to defend a cause important to her: Harassment on the networks”.
A cause that is dear to him. In 2021, as recalled Paris Matchshe had also challenged the bosses of social networks, “to call them to action”. Brigitte Macron is well placed to talk about it, she who has been the target of harassment on these platforms. In particular because of a fake news that questioned his gender identity.
