Description

The fake personal diary of Brigitte Macron, covering her entire history with the President, with a particular focus on the “Macron decade” from 2016 to 2026. The diary sets out to be a hilarious “intimate” parody and self-portrait, an assessment of Macronism in power and a portrait of Macronism in decline.

A satirical self-portrait of the presidential couple and an incisive assessment of Macronism in its twilight years, this true-false diary of Brigitte Macron covers her life with Emmanuel from 1993 to 2027.

Brigitte comments on the beginnings of her relationship, the rise to power, but also events from the two five-year terms, both real and fictional, such as her difficult integration into the CPPD (First Ladies' Discussion Group) or the type of dog food to feed Bruno Roger-Petit. The tone oscillates between the grandiloquent and detached style of Leïla Slimani during lockdown and that of a Flaubertian literature teacher who prides herself on her literary knowledge and arbitrates the elegance of the Élysée Palace.

This sharp but elegant parody humorously addresses Macron's entire body of work through the bombastic pen and unique perspective of Brigitte, the maternal, loving and gray eminence, a nouveau riche boomer who loves diamond-encrusted leather caps. Enhanced by a centerfold illustrated with hyper-realistic fake photos generated by AI, these scathing confessions offer a unique glimpse behind the (fictional) scenes of power.
