It is an unexpected look behind the facade that Brigitte Macron gave in an interview with the Pariser Zeitung The Tribune allows. The French First Lady is unusually open and admits that her life is by no means a bed of roses. “I sometimes have trouble seeing the sky in blue,” admits the 73-year-old premiere lady. Before that, she “led a normal life, with a job and children, with ups and downs.” But in the Élysée Palace she has been experiencing “the blackness of the world, the stupidity and evilness for almost ten years. That sometimes makes me sad in a way I’ve never been before,” says the wife of President Emmanuel Macron.
