French president's wife comes in handy without charge

French President Emmanuel Macron's wife, Brigitte Macron, will take an official role in “Elise”, but without the title “The First Zone”.

The presidency published what it called “Transparency Card”, in which it determined its duties, financed by the Macro budget.

His former teacher will have an active role in civil society, with a focus on persons with disabilities, education, children, women's issues and health and gender equality.

Through a petition, more than 316 thousand people refused to assume Brigitte's official role as the first “ZAG”, but the truth is that Macron's 24-year-old wife was very active during the election campaign and is considered the most influential person in the head of “Elise”

The new transparency card is a innovation in France, as no preliminary presidency has so clearly defined the role of the French leader's wife. Establishing an official position for the first lady would require changing the Constitution, but instead of doing so, the charter uses the term “partner of head of state”.

It explains that Mrs. Macro will not be paid for the exercise of her duties, nor will there be a personal budget or spending claims. The expenses will come out of President Macron's personal budget. It will have two advisers, its office and one secretariat.

During the election campaign, Macro stressed that politicians should not employ their relatives, as his conservative rival Francois starts losing support for that very thing. During an interview with the magazine “Ele”, Brigitte said he felt very bad about negative and sexting comments about the age difference with Emmanuel, but had decided to keep quiet.

The “With the time will pass”, was her words.
