Since he officially entered the campaign, Emmanuel Macron now receives the same media treatment as all his other competitors in the presidential election. And Brigitte Macron’s husband sometimes finds it difficult to put himself in the shoes of a simple presidential candidate. “I will continue to deploy in shows, TV news, that’s a presidential campaign. Why should things change with me? I continue to be President of the Republic.”, he explained on March 17 during a speech in Aubervilliers. Determined to defend his record and respond to his detractors, the Head of State forgets the rules of speaking time and fairness. As was particularly the case against Xavier de Moulins on M6.
“We heard you, Mr candidate… We heard you…“, intervened the journalist and presenter of 7:45 p.m. who cut the floor to the President of the Republic who was a little too talkative. “I’m still slipping…“, he then tried, before being taken up again: “Mister candidate, I’m the master of the clocks here, it’s not you“. A muscular exchange which had then reacted a lot on social networks.
But such a mishap has just happened again this Monday, April 4 in the morning of France Inter. Faced with Léa Salamé and Nicolas Demorand, Emmanuel Macron was once again annoyed at not being able to deploy his proposals as he wanted. “We have questions. You have to answer with one word! It’s a word!“, Nicolas Demorand told him. “Because afterwards, we no longer talk about other subjects? We don’t go back to school anymore?” asked the Head of State. Léa Salamé assured him that France Inter will “re-invite” him when he wants “outside the equal time period“.
“I still wanted to talk about…“, insisted Emmanuel Macron. “But it’s over !“, cut the morning before adding: “Arcom has defined the rule!“.”Yes, the Arcom is watching!“, added Léa Salamé. “Yes, but I just wanted to say a word“, continued the candidate president: “All weekend, there was fake news that was relayed by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. I never said that at 12, you had to put young people in apprenticeship. It is a scandal“.”It is said !“, concluded the companion of Raphaël Glucksmann.
