Emmanuel Macron: his wife Brigitte, his biggest ally

She may become our next First Lady. Brigitte Macron , who is also known under her maiden name, Brigitte Trogneux appeared a smile this evening, during the speech of the candidate of En Marche. Her husband has just qualified in the second round of the presidential election, receiving 23.8% of the vote. A victory that Brigitte Macron dreamed of.

The entourage of Emmanuel Macron is unanimous: nothing would have been possible without Brigitte. “Emmanuel Macron could not have embarked on the adventure without her. His presence is essential for him, “comments Marc Ferracci, witness of the marriage of the couple in 2007 and today member of the party.

The candidate himself has never ceased to thank his wife for her dedication and encouragement. This Saturday evening, Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Macron presented themselves in hand on the platform during her speech at the Parc des expositions in Porte de Versailles. They even exchanged a discreet kiss. Emmanuel Macron also dedicated a few words: “thank you to all my family, and to Brigitte, always present and even more, without which I would not be me.”

And even if, for the moment, Brigitte Macron’s couple has gone through all the hardships (including the rumors about Emmanuel Macron ‘s homosexuality or even the mockery about their age difference – 24 years separating them) Is however not very serene on their possible future life in the “castle”. In Le Monde, his friend writer Philippe Besson said: “She knows that few wives of president have been happy and that couples rarely survive at the Elysee. She has conquered her happiness and is worried about what could put her in jeopardy. “
