An inflammatory letter sent to Emmanuel Macron

On April 26, the former glory of French cinema had sharply attacked the head of state, denouncing his "inaction" and "cowardice" on the theme of animal welfare. A cause dear to Brigitte Bardot who opened, in 1986, a function in her name to defend the rights of animals.

"You make the France a 'garbage can' that serves as your throne and you take a sadistic pleasure in making your people suffer, but also the most humble, the most vulnerable and the most submissive, 'the animals'," she wrote, even going so far as to call Emmanuel Macron a "despicable puppet" and "an evil being".

Your first words when you received me at the Elysée... "You're going to yell at me!" Five years later, yes I am yelling at you @EmmanuelMacron because I am angry at your inaction, your cowardice, your contempt for the French (who make you feel good it is true). pic.twitter.com/XBhh6ChZIW
