He will be a candidate! Although everyone expected it, it took until Thursday March 3, 2022 to see Emmanuel Macron run for the presidential election and aspire to a second five-year term. If his relatives had known for a while, the doubt still remained among the citizens and this announcement obviously divided the country. But even within his clan. Indeed, Brigitte Macron, although she supports him no matter what, would not be really enthusiastic about the idea of seeing his companion again at the Elysée.
It must be said that the past five years have been complicated for the Head of State and the First Lady. Whether it’s his age difference with the President of the Republic, rumors of transidentity… Or even criticism of Emmanuel Macron with complicated events to manage during his mandate, whether it’s the Yellow Vests, the Covid-19 pandemic or again, more recently, the War in Ukraine. She already warned last January, in the 1 p.m. news from Jacques Legros, that she feared a possible new presidential campaign from her companion. “I also fear this kind of permanent crescendo, we are going further and further”she confided.
Our colleagues from Gala also make it known that Gaël Tchakaloff, author of the book As long as we are both (Flammarion), was conducting an investigation into the relationship between Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron. The journalist ensuring in her writings that the First Lady would have always expressed her reluctance to see her husband embark on this “adventure” again. “I don’t think it makes her very happy to go back in there, she has a form of self-sacrifice”, she explained in the loft of “C à Vous” on France 5, last September. Fabrice Lhomme, meanwhile, revealed to Gala than “a few relatives told us that she wanted a simpler life and that she was moderately fond of the idea of a second term”.
