Brigitte Macron, who for the first time accepted a TV interview, gave this Thursday on TF1 his version on the origin of the little sentence of her husband “I cross the street, from work I find you”.
“The day before we were at the restaurant and the restaurateur told us ‘The first one who will cross the street, I give him a job, because I need workers near me’. And this sentence that Emmanuel said at that time, it is the sentence which he had heard, which the restorer had said the day before, “affirmed the wife of Emmanuel Macron.
“It’s complicated to say a sentence like that”
However, she added that she criticized him this sentence, that the head of state had launched to a young unemployed at the Elysée during the heritage days, September 15, 2018, and which has since been regularly cited by its critics. “A sentence that did not bring me luck,” admitted Emmanuel Macron Wednesday during his wishes to the press.
“I told him ‘you are in the precincts of the Elysée palace, it’s complicated to say to a young man a sentence like this'”. “Of course, we don’t have to say it,” repeated his wife.
“But, sometimes, we have sentences that come out spontaneously, which damage our image, but it’s too late, the sentence is said. We are in an era when a word can condemn you and you are reduced to this word indefinitely “.
In 2022, “he will do what he wants”
The head of state’s wife also denied the arrogance charges against her husband. “This assurance that he has is an assurance of knowledge. But perhaps something in the form does not suit”, she admitted, even if the French who meet him are, according to her , “happy”.
Asked about 2022, she notably slipped: “he will do what he wants and in any case I will be there for him”. As for the anger of the hospital staff, the one who just succeeded Bernadette Chirac as president of the Paris Hospitals-Hospitals of France Foundation and Operation Yellow Pieces, replied that “it’s a fight we understand”.
She finally castigated those who insult her on social networks on condition of anonymity: “we can murder you, in complete freedom, it’s incredible”, but outside the Elysée Palace “it is very rare that I’m approached for being aggressive, “she said.
