Emmanuel Macron did not want a “normal life” – Gala

policy

Emmanuel Macron has long entrusted to the novelist Emmanuel Carrère, in a portrait released this Friday on the website of the british newspaper, The Guardian. An interview in which he confesses his total rejection of what he calls the ” normal life “…

Emmanuel Macron like to definitely confide in writers. After his friend Philippe Besson, who has published his biography in September of last year (A character from the Novel, ed. Julliard) the president is entrusted to another large feather in French : Emmanuel Carrère. The author of The Adversary is releasing this Friday morning on the website of the newspaper The Guardian, a long-term portrait very thorough of the president, entitled ” In orbit of Jupiter, my week with Emmanuel Macron “.

During one of their interviews, the writer tries to identify what are the “defects” of Emmanuel Macron. ” Everyone has flaws, “he says, and my job is to identify it. But with Macron, they do not jump exactly to the eyes. “ The novelist decides to directly ask the question to the chief of the State.

The latter, surprised by a question if frank, appears first in a heartbeat. Before answering : “I believe that my default is to be claustrophobic. Not physically, because I don’t have a true phobia. But claustrophobic about life in general. I can’t stand to be locked up, content. I must always escape me, and it is for this that I can’t have a normal life. At the bottom of me, my default is probably that I don’t like the normal life. “

These words do of course echo the slogan of his predecessor, François Hollande, who presented himself instead as a ” president normal “, and no longer hesitate now, to start him regularly of spades. But these confidences spontaneous could also provide grist to the mill of critics of Emmanuel Macron. Some of his opponents might once again be accused of being too elitist, and to despise, precisely, the simple life, ” normal “, the overwhelming majority of the French people.
