Gaze fixed on his notes, voice unsteady on certain words.
The former theater teacher who became the first lady of France lent herself to the imposed figure of the interview on the occasion of the
Yellow Pieces operation
.
And it's not the practice she favors the most.
The interview conducted by
Gilles Bouleau
during the 20-hour newspaper of TF1 begins on this theme then follows on the current state of hospitals, the grievances of the French and the pension reform.
Brigitte Macron

She regains a little confidence when the presenter asks her if, as first lady, she repeats everything in the smallest details to her husband.
