Brigitte Macron, the 74-year-old First Lady of France, has reportedly taken a very hands-on approach to hiring women for positions at the Élysée Palace. According to Florian Tardif, a political affairs correspondent at Paris Match, she demands to see photos of female applicants, exclaiming, "Show me!" If she finds them lacking in beauty, she allegedly dismisses them outright, stating, "She won’t be coming to the Élysée!" This assertion raises questions about gender dynamics within the presidential workplace. The claims come amid a backdrop of controversy regarding Brigitte's relationship with her husband, President Emmanuel Macron, particularly following allegations of flirtatious text messages exchanged between him and actress Golshifteh Farahani. While Brigitte has denied any physical altercation with Emmanuel after discovering the messages, Tardif suggests that her jealousy has influenced the president's staffing choices, leading to a predominantly male environment. He notes that Emmanuel Macron has expressed the importance of keeping Brigitte happy in order to maintain stability in his presidency. Tardif's book, 'Un Couple (Presque) Parfait', delves into these dynamics, highlighting Brigitte's concerns about women in her husband's professional sphere.
