Emmanuel Macron’s wife, Brigitte Macron alternates between shadow and light. Arousing great interest in the media, she devoted herself to her husband’s career, leaving her job as a French teacher in the process. Nineteen years his senior, she was her French teacher when he was still a high school student. Very present, Brigitte Macron has been involved in the political life of her husband since he was at the Ministry of the Economy, in Bercy. During the presidential campaign, the couple appeared several times on the cover of Paris Match, willingly appearing to be accomplices. Since the election of Emmanuel Macron, Brigitte Macron has been present at certain official receptions, as was the case with Donald and Melania Trump, during the tribute to Nice for the ceremony a year after the attack, or even at the G20 summit in Hamburg. . But her role remains to be defined. Over the summer, Elysee explained that she was working on a letter to frame her performance. In fact, the role of First Lady could be similar to the one she held for eight years by Michelle Obama. Brigitte Macron has already expressed her willingness to work on education and disability issues. According to her entourage, the First Lady receives between 200 and 250 letters a day, three times as many as Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, who until then remained the most popular First Lady. Enough to require the use of 10 people, full time, of the 75 that make up the Elysée mail service, to process these missives.
