On Wednesday March 22, 2023, Emmanuel Macron spoke for the first time since the adoption of the pension reform by 49.3. Speaking live from the Elysée Palace on TF1 and France 2 for the 1 p.m. television news, the President reaffirmed his positions and the adoption of this reform. This is nevertheless still being examined by the Constitutional Council, which was also mobilized by the opposition.
At the same time, the demonstrations of Thursday March 23 were preparing. Indeed, this Thursday, a ninth day of general and national strike takes place in contestation of the pension reform, but also of the use of article 49.3 of the Constitution by Elisabeth Borne. All sectors of the public service continue to mobilize and intend to renew the strike until the deletion of the text. In addition, Emmanuel Macron intends to implement this reform “before the end of the year”, as he said during the news reported by FranceInfo. But, a question remains for the most curious of you. At what age did Brigitte Macron retire?
In the biography Madam President, journalists Ava Djamshidi and Nathalie Schuck discuss her retirement age. No, the first lady didn’t leave early. Indeed, in June 2015, then aged 62, she announced her departure for the next school year at Saint-Louis-de Gonzague high school in Paris. Brigitte Macron would have started teaching in the 80s, when she was in her thirties.
The journalists specify that she did not wish to leave initially in 2015. It is to support the future candidacy of Emmanuel Macron that she decides to leave the National Education.
