It has been her hobbyhorse since her arrival as first lady: Brigitte Macron, a former French teacher, has made the fight against school bullying a priority. And this November 10, on the occasion of the day dedicated to this fight, she wanted to come and talk about it on the show Telematinwhere she was the special guest of Julia Vignali.
She was confronted with the moving testimony of Anne-Liz Deba, a young woman who came to testify about the harassment of which she was the victim in college. A fury against her that had ended in the most extreme violence. “On September 23, 2014 when I was in fourth grade, a few weeks after the start of the school year, the people who harassed me at school tried to kill me by throwing a can of gasoline all over me and threatening me with a lighter to set fire to me“, she revealed still so shocked eight years later.
Brigitte Macron’s emotion in front of the camera
Listening to the one who explained having “literally saw death in front of your eyes“, the wife of Emmanuel Macron, also the mother of three children (Sébastien, 47, Laurence, 45, and Tiphaine, 38) and seven times a grandmother, was seized by emotion. The voice tied, she reacted with difficulty at first.”It’s… it’s impossible to hear“, she said before recovering herself and continuing: “It’s impossible to hear because Anne-Liz has everything. You hear the way she talks about it, her intelligence, she has it all. Maybe that’s why we tried to destroy it.“
A poignant moment which reinforced his determination to fight against school bullying, a scourge which affects around one in ten young people and which has worsened with the emergence of social networks. “Today it’s 24 hours a day, it’s no limitshe revealed to the journalist, companion of Kad Merad. We don’t know how far it goes. It’s beyond the things you wouldn’t do in real life and you do them in virtual life with impunity. And that is impossible.“
Determined to “move forward on these topics“, the first lady has surely returned to her task with new strength to continue to grow this fight that is so close to her heart…
