The former French teacher tries despite everything to find a balance: let Emmanuel Macron decide without giving up.
Brigitte Macron is currently on all fronts.

"I'm on a ridge line"
This time interviewed by our colleagues from
Point,
Brigitte Macron indulged in a few secrets about her role as First Lady.
"Being the president's wife is a burden," says Emmanuel Macron's wife.
If she is very invested in the life and daily life of her husband, Brigitte Macron sometimes has trouble finding the right balance, to be heard without taking up too much space: "I am on a ridge line: the good , evil, which side does it fall on? There are those who think I'm a lazy person and those who think I shouldn't be here!", she lamented.

"I try to act when someone sends me a file. I pass it on to authorized people on a case-by-case basis. It's concrete. I answer emails and letters. I take care of everything concerning the foundation Hospitals etc. I have appointments on education, health, disability and culture. There is also an international component: I welcome the spouses of Heads of State.
