Gallezot: Brigitte Macron and Thomas Gallezot

gallezot: France, uniquely, divides the whole world up into ridings and elects MPs to represent expatriates . Macron, 39, and his 64-year-old wife are subjects of great fascination in France, where the country's youngest postwar leader was inaugurated Sunday amid much pomp and ceremony, according to Hamilton Spectator. But the attention that has focused on the new first couple at home is not what one would expect, Gallezot said. That's according to Thomas Gallezot, who organized president-elect Emmanuel Macron's campaign in Ontario and Manitoba. France's incoming first lady is being taunted all because she's older than her husband Over the course of the campaign, Brigitte Macron shifted from a liability to an asset, he said. Like Obama, Macron inspires respect and admiration even from people who disagree with him politically, Gallezot said and that's thanks to his wife. She's incredibly lovable, with incredible grace in my mind it's very similar to the Obama couple. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
