You can change your choice at any timeEmmanuel Macron, the funniest president of the Fifth Republic? In 2021, the Head of State decided to get closer to young people by entrusting a very special mission to Youtubers Mcfly & Carlito. They had to make a video in which they recalled the importance of respecting barrier gestures. If this video reached 10 million views, Brigitte's husband undertook to open the doors of the Elysee Palace to them for a shoot. Objective achieved for those who will soon reach 7 million subscribers.
And bet taken by Emmanuel Macron, who carried out an anecdote contest with the duo a few weeks ago. The opportunity to discover the darkest secrets of the Elysée tenant, from his appearance in a series in Africa to his balls exchanged with OM players. Close to young people, okay, but you shouldn't push either. If there's one topic the 43-year-old president doesn't mess with, it's fashion. And especially the one worn by the teenagers of 2021.
“My body, my choice”
In an exclusive interview with Elle, Emmanuel Macron was asked about his “seven grandchildren” and the fact that they may be wearing crop tops in the street, or at school. A good player, the Head of State claimed to be “for freedom”. “I was brought up that way and our grandchildren are too,” he says. But be careful not to break certain rules! "At home or with friends, it's one thing," notes Emmanuel Macron. But at school, it's another matter. “I'm more 'decent dress required', both for girls and for boys. I am not a defender of the uniform, but everything that sends you back to an identity, a desire to shock or to exist has no place at school. We can take into account the fantasy part of a teenager and hold on to certain principles!”, declared the Head of State, very formally.
It was enough for social networks to ignite via the hashtag #BalanceTonTop which arrived in the top trends on Twitter. “'Decent dress required' remains a synonym for controlling women's bodies. Indecency is in the posed gaze, not in the clothing”, “My body, my choice”, “Do not deny freedom to your daughters, educate your sons”, many reacted, while d others have chosen to provoke the Head of State by posing… in a crop top.
