Looking back at this year’s popular dramas, it seems that they all have something to do with politics. Whether it is the purely fictional Secretary Li Dakang or the protagonists Park Geun-hye and Trump in real-life themes, they are all enriching people’s leisure time. of conversation. And after the French election in May, a new name is likely to be added to the conversation: Emmanuel Macron.
Macron has many qualities that can arouse people's interest: he is as handsome as a star, a versatile young man, a rising political star, and a marriage that can be called "shocking".
One of his good friends once said of him: "To understand Macron, you must first realize that all the choices he made are based on the pursuit of freedom." Freedom, this is what runs through The key word for all Macron’s important decisions in life.
And freedom comes at a price.
Macron as a young man
Macron studied at the French National School of Administration. After graduation, he went to the economic department and met the current French President Hollande. But just three years later, in order to achieve financial freedom, Macron gave up this iron rice bowl and jumped to a bank of the Rothschild family - a case of Nestlé's acquisition of a Pfizer subsidiary, and he received a commission of 2.8 million euros. .
But when he was in it, Macron felt that although the salary was high, it was "similar to a sex worker, just going out to seduce others." There was nothing worth showing off or cherishing. So he was invited by Hollande's phone call to return to politics, and thus created a history: he became France's youngest economic minister.
Macron has unlimited imagination about the future of the French economy. He hopes to reinvigorate the French economy, which has been in decline for a long time, through a series of innovations: breaking the rigid limit of working hours not exceeding 35 hours per week. According to the regulations, businesses can be more flexible; shops can also open on Sundays; long-distance buses and state-owned railways can be opened to competition, etc.
But as an economic minister, it is far from enough. Therefore, in pursuit of greater political freedom, he resigned again and then ran for the French presidency.
Greater political freedom comes at the expense of personal privacy.
The French do not advocate exposing the privacy of politicians, and they are also disgusted with the media making irresponsible remarks about the private lives of celebrities, but everyone has the desire to gossip. Not conducting moral trials does not mean that you are not interested. This degree of interest is even one of the indicators of a politician's official future.
Standing on this stage, one sees much more than just the campaign platform
So, when the French no longer care about who Hollande will sleep with tonight, Basically it means that he has reached the end of his tenure as French President.
Now, Macron and his wife, who is 24 years older than him, have become the new favorites of gossip and frequently appear on the covers of magazines. This drama combines many bloody plots such as teacher-student love, year-old love, mistress's superiority, etc. Marriage is the most talked about thing among French people.
Their love affair quickly appeared on the covers of various magazines
Their love affair began when Macron was in high school. At that time, he was still a typical literary young man with long flowing hair, playing the piano and acting in dramas in his spare time. His wife Brigitte is his French teacher and the head of the drama club. They get together every Friday to discuss scripts.
Macron is the star of the drama club and a popular figure in the school. Not only his classmates, but also the teachers will discuss this lovable student in private, and Brigitte is the most enthusiastic one among them. As a student, her love for Macron was so blatant that the whole school knew about it, and she often read Macron's poems publicly in class. At that time, Brigitte was already over forty.
However, Brigitte is not in unrequited love. Macron also falls in love with this mature, wise, confident and frank teacher.
Macron’s parents were furious and ordered Macron to transfer to another school immediately. They think this is just the love impulse of adolescent boys, which will fade away after a few years, and they will meet a better partner, get married and have children. Before Macron left, he said to Brigitte, "One day I will come back to marry you" - no one took this sentence seriously.
When they met again 14 years later, Macron was in his prime and Brigitte was already over fifty. No one expected that the 30-year-old Macron would actually marry the 54-year-old Brigitte. .
Who would have expected that an erotic dream would come true?
In fact, Brigitte was in her second marriage at the time. Strictly speaking, Macron was really the third party. Moreover, Brigitte already had grandchildren at the time, so Macron became a grandfather as soon as he got married.
These gossips were exposed after Macron became a political celebrity.
Although Macron’s marriage is very unusual, in the eyes of French people who are naturally romantic, no matter the age difference or the moral stain of a third party’s involvement, they are no match for the words “truly love each other.” , is not enough to shake their favorable impression of this political figure. If Macron lies to protect his image, it will cause public resistance and end his political career prematurely.
The latest polls show that everyone is generally optimistic that Macron can win the upcoming presidential election.
If this prediction comes true, Macron, 39, will also make history again: becoming France's youngest-ever president.
In the contest with Le Pen, Macron was given the role of savior:
Defend France’s tradition of freedom and democracy
Not long ago, Macron appeared In public events, supporters of other candidates threw rotten eggs at him, and the yolk and white stained his face, making him miserable. In a later interview, Macron was very calm: This is part of political life, and I have been prepared for it.
Private affairs in the past will be exposed, and walking on the street will become dangerous-these so-called costs will not be a price once you are ready to face them.
Financial freedom, marriage freedom, and political freedom may ultimately bring about spiritual freedom.
