MACRONMANIA OR THE FACE OF MODERNITY IN A SPIN

MACRONMANIA OR THE FACE OF MODERNITY IN A SPIN

France 3 TV Channel is about to release on June 13th a film BRIGITTE MACRON, UN ROMAN FRANÇAIS. It is yet another version of the nauseatingly slushy presidential saga, a tale of the seduction of an under-age pupil by a teacher his mother’s age, a woman without qualms nor ethics, who subjected her own husband to a crushing humiliation, and admits having brought suffering to her children in order to follow with impunity the ambitious plans she projected on a youngster enslaved to her will. This latest version of a countlessly retold story during the past year and a half, is aiming to whitewash her reputation and exonerate her of all guilt since she supposedly acted ‘par amour’ notwithstanding the offence committed in the eyes of the law. In so doing it is meant to appeal to the heart of French citizens now that the presidential rate of popularity is plunging in the opinion polls. Even Macron’s early supporters are denouncing the evil  effects of his social and economic policies, and of the accelerated rhythm of senselessly destructive reforms, dangerously disrupting the country. It is the worse possible example of the French system of double standards, and a particularly potent symbol of its decadence and corruption.
