When Brigitte Macron is accused of behaving like the “queen of France” – Gala

Protocol

Brigitte Macron is a first lady that expects to use his role to make things change. But his attitude is far from the taste of his critics.

The status of first lady is not always easy to understand. Some of the wives of the president have remained iconic through their actions. This is particularly the case of Bernadette Chirac, who is very committed. Others, such as Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, have remained more discrete. Brigitte Macron, it belongs to the first category. Voluntary and committed, she uses her status for good cause, but his omnipresence at the side of Emmanuel Macron does not please always. Especially when it shakes the protocol and the established order.

Due to its age, being 14 years older than the president of the Republic, it was already shown from the finger. Couples where the man is younger than the woman are still rare, and always surprise. But it is especially his past statements that have put fire to the powder. According to information from RTL, Brigitte Macron would have informed his relatives of his wish to be next to and not behind her husband at official ceremonies : “A woman today doesn’t have to be behind. “

A statement that does not pass to his critics, who have not hesitated to assert thatit is thought to be the ” queen of France “, on the social networks in particular. Other consider that it should be remembered that it is her husband, and not herself, who has been elected, when the latter did not hesitate to compare it to Marie Antoinette, wife of Louis XVI. However, the critics do not appear to affect Brigitte Macron, determined not to be relegated to the simple rank of a wife. His vision of things is adorned with feminism and modernity. And if his desire not to be placed behind the president of the Republic may be offensive to the followers of the protocol, it remains a beautiful inspiration for gender equality.
