Катрин Нэйгийн шинэ бүтээлд Францын ерөнхийлөгчийн бага нас, гэр бүлийн харилцаа болон шүүмжлэл хүлээн авах хандлагын талаар өгүүлжээ.
Францын Ерөнхийлөгч Эммануэль Макрон намтар бичигч Катрин Нэйд өөрийгөө “одоо ч хүүхэд хэвээр” бөгөөд өсвөр насны үеэ туулж байгаагүй гэж ярьсан тухай Лондоны “The Times” мэдээлжээ. Түүний хэлснээр, эмээ болон өөрөөс нь 24 насаар эгч эхнэр Брижит нарын нөлөө бага насанд нь их байв. Макрон Брижиттэй 15 настайдаа, харин тэр 39 настай байх үед нь танилцжээ.
Нэйгийн бичсэнээр, Макроны эмээ Манетт түүнийг өөрийн “шилдэг бүтээл” болгохыг зорьж, хичээлд нь төвлөрүүлэхийн тулд хэт хянадаг байжээ. Макрон 14 настайдаа охинтой үерхэж эхлэхэд эмээ нь дургүйцсэн бөгөөд “дахиж охид руу харахгүй” гэж амласны дараа л харилцаа нь сайжирсан гэж номд өгүүлжээ. Брижит нөхрөө эмээгийнхээ нөлөөнөөс гарч чадаагүй, сэтгэлзүйн шинжилгээ хийлгэх хэрэгтэй гэж Нэйд ярьсан байна.
Намтарт Макроныг ухаалаг боловч үе тэнгийнхнээсээ хөндий, найз нөхөд цөөнтэй, шүүмжлэл хүлээн авч сураагүй хүнээр дүрсэлжээ. Нэйгийн хэлснээр, Макрон өөрийн үйлдлийг эргэцүүлэн бодох нь ховор бөгөөд уучлал хүссэн ч дараа нь өөрийгөө зөв байсныг тайлбарлах хандлагатай аж. Тэрбээр мөн ерөнхийлөгчийг Елисейн ордонд ажиллах болсон цагаас хүмүүсээс улам тусгаарлагдсан гэж тодорхойлжээ.
Намтарт Макроны өөртөө хэт итгэлтэй байдал нь өөрийн шийдвэрт эргэлзэхээс татгалзах хандлага болж хувирсан гэжээ. Түүний 2024 онд ээлжит бус парламентын сонгууль зарласан шийдвэр Засгийн газрыг олонхгүй болгож, улс төрийн тогтворгүй байдалд хүргэсэн байна. Ерөнхийлөгчийн бүрэн эрхийн хугацаа дуусахад зургаан сар үлдээд буй энэ үед төвч эвсэл нь суларч, Францад сүүлийн хэдэн арван жилийн хамгийн хүчтэй үймээн самуун өрнөж, Марин Ле Пен тэргүүтэй популист баруун болон Жан-Люк Меланшоны радикал зүүний хүчний дэмжлэг нэмэгдэж байгааг нийтлэлд дурджээ.

French President Emmanuel Macron admits in a bombshell new book that he is “still a child” — and his much-older wife says he has granny issues and needs to be “psychoanalyzed.”
The 48-year-old head of state acknowledged in the telling biography that his youth was dominated by strong older women — his grandmother and later, his future wife, who is 24 years his senior — and that the situation robbed him of a childhood.
“Me, I’m still a child. I have never been a teenager. I don’t like teenagers. I don’t understand them. My wife does,” Macron told his biographer, Catherine Nay, according to the Times of London.
Nay, a veteran political journalist, interviewed Macron, his wife Brigitte — who he met when he was 15 and she was 39 — and multiple childhood friends for the tome.
The author depicted Macron’s grandmother, Manette, a retired school headmistress, as a domineering woman who looked to mold her grandson into her “masterpiece.”
To do this, she “sequestered” him in his studies and became enraged when he started dating a girl at 14, according to Nay.
Macron only regained his grandmother’s affections when he promised, “I won’t look at girls anymore,” according to Nay, who added that the future leader of France was far closer to Manette than to his parents.
Macron’s wife also admitted the influence that Manette had on her husband’s life.
“Emmanuel still hasn’t buried his grandmother. He hasn’t even replaced her. He ought to be psychoanalyzed,” Brigitte told Nay.
Nay described Macron as the driving force in his relationship with Brigitte, who was his drama teacher and one of his friend’s mothers when they met.
She said the then-15-year-old Macron’s romantic feelings for Brigitte amounted to “the seduction of an adult” and claimed he proposed that they write a play together so he could make time for them to be alone.
Brigitte, a married mom of three at the time, later told a friend she asked Macron whether he wanted children of his own.
“No, I want you to look after only me,” he reportedly replied.
The book portrayed the young Macron as supremely bright but isolated from his peers, largely friendless and never learning how to accept criticism.
That seclusion has continued into his adult life, where he is increasingly cut off from people while spending his days in the Élysée Palace.
Nay accused Macron of believing he can do no wrong, with the self-confidence that propelled him to election as France’s youngest leader since Napoleon at just 39 giving way to a refusal to ever question his own actions.
“Introspection doesn’t enter his intellectual world. Even when he apologizes, he comes back later to explain that he was right,” Nay said in a recent interview with France Inter radio.
That lack of introspection resulted in him calling snap parliamentary elections in 2024, which left his government without a majority and plunged France into political turmoil.
As Macron enters the last six months of his presidency, the ruthless careerist is now watching his centrist coalition collapse, his country torn apart by its worst riots in decades, and both the populist right under Marine Le Pen and the radical left under Jean-Luc Mélenchon soaring in the polls.
