BAGHDAD — 

Iraqi paramilitary leader Abu Mahdi Muhandis, a bespectacled man with the mien of a professor, arrived at Baghdad International Airport to greet his personal friend and longtime ally Iranian Gen. Qassem Suleimani, commander of the elite Quds Force.

Moments later, after the two men and their companions had climbed into an SUV and headed onto the highway out of the airport, a U.S. drone fired a pair of missiles, turning the vehicle into a fiery hulk. Both men died in the strike early Friday.

While Suleimani’s death by order of President Trump ratcheted up tensions across the Middle East and stoked fears of an all-out war between the U.S. and Iran, killing Muhandis means the U.S. could face the wrath of tens of thousands of militia members.

Muhandis, a onetime political dissident, suspected terrorist attack mastermind, lawmaker and militia leader, was arguably one of Iraq’s most powerful men. For many, he was the face of Iran in the country.

The vestiges of his power were on display Monday in Baghdad’s Karada district, where thousands of officials, political and religious leaders, fighters and militiamen gathered in the halls of the local mosque to pay their respects to Muhandis, who was 65, with all the pageantry of a state occasion.

In his role as the deputy commander of the Popular Mobilization Forces, a grouping of Shiite-dominated paramilitary factions created in 2014 to battle Islamic State militants, he was the driving figure behind transforming disorganized bands of religiously driven volunteers into an official branch of Iraq’s armed forces. It has since morphed into a political party with significant economic interests.

Muhandis’ rise, along with his deep connections with the top echelons in both Iraq and Iran, helps illustrate the often complicated history between the two nations.

The influence by Muhandis, who was best known by his nom de guerre but whose given name was Jamal Jaafar Ibrahimi, began when he was a member of the Islamic Dawa, the Shiite political party, whose cadres include former Prime Ministers Nouri Maliki and Haider Abadi, but which in the 1970s was the target of a vicious crackdown by Iraq’s Baathist government. When Saddam Hussein seized power in 1979, Muhandis fled to Kuwait.

The Dawa, meanwhile, had moved its headquarters to Iran in 1979. With the help of Tehran’s new leaders, Muhandis and other party members waged an insurgency campaign against countries seen as supporting Hussein.

One of those countries was Kuwait: In 1983, a Kuwaiti court later alleged, Muhandis was part of a team of operatives linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that conducted a series of bombings in Kuwait City on the U.S. and French embassies, the airport and the country’s main refinery. It was an early use of transnational Shiite irregular forces now seen in all battlefields involving Tehran.

Muhandis escaped to Iran before he could be arrested. There, he spent much of the next two decades as a political operator and a leader in what was known as the Badr Brigade. The group has since become a political party, with its armed wing part of the Popular Mobilization Forces.

The 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq enabled his return to his home country, where he served as a security advisor in the first post-Hussein government before gaining a seat in parliament in 2005. But when U.S. officials realized that a wanted terrorist was now a member of parliament and raised the matter with Iraqi officials, he fled again to Iran, returning only when the Americans withdrew in 2011.

In the intervening years he agitated for ever-stronger links between Iraq and Iran — a position he personified in many ways: He was a dual citizen of both countries, spoke fluent Arabic and Persian, was married to an Iranian woman and had a house in Tehran. U.S. cables published by WikiLeaks describe Muhandis as a “member of the Quds Force,” the elite branch of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard specializing in irregular warfare, and a leading figure in several major militias that, with Tehran’s backing, had fought against U.S. troops.

He was later designated as a threat to peace and stability in Iraq by the U.S. Treasury because of that association; but with the ties to Iran came Suleimani, a figure that came to be the bedrock of Muhandis’ influence, eclipsing even that of other close associates of Iran such as Iraqi militia leader Hadi Ameri.

“Muhandis was very capable in his own right but he had that ace up his sleeve, namely Suleimani,” Michael Knights, an expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said in a phone interview Monday. “If you got into an argument with Muhandis, even if you started to win it, he only needed to whip that phone out and you would lose.”

Despite his ties to Iran, Muhandis nevertheless found himself fighting on the same side as the Americans in 2014, when Islamic State extremists swatted aside entire Iraqi army brigades and took over a third of Iraq.

With the army essentially collapsed, more than 100,000 mostly Shiite volunteers along with militias already formed since 2003 rose to stop the extremists’ blitzkrieg. Muhandis unified the militias, organizing them into the Popular Mobilization Forces, or Hashd al-Shaabi, as they’re known in Arabic — all with Iran’s help.

“Muhandis was the Hashd, and the Hashd was Muhandis,” said Ahmad Assadi, a spokesman of the political bloc associated with the Popular Mobilization Forces.

Muhandis was also seen as a guarantor of some measure of discipline among the militias, which, despite ostensibly operating under the aegis of the state, have acted on their own authority in the past and would clash with regular troops.

“He was the safety valve between the state and the nonstate groups,” said Yazan Juboori, a leader in the Popular Mobilization Forces who described Muhandis as “godfather”-like figure for him. He also said Muhandis reined in attacks on “foreign interests” in Iraq. “He was the one who would calm things down, controlled the situation and told people this would hurt the interests of the country.”

It was a part Muhandis played again when pro-Hashd demonstrators stormed the U.S. Embassy compound last week in retaliation for a U.S. strike on Kataib Hezbollah, a militia he helped found.

According to Adel Abdul Mahdi, Iraq’s caretaker prime minister, in a parliamentary speech Sunday, Muhandis played “a pivotal role in convincing protesters to withdraw from the perimeter of the U.S. Embassy.”

With Muhandis’ death, said Abu Ali Akbar, a mourner in the Karada mosque Monday, the U.S. was no longer welcome.

“We have no issue with the American people, but the soldiers here should go back home,” he said. “Here there are no interests for you any more, only enmity.”

SEATTLE — 

Even as federal officials continued to deny that Iranian Americans had been stopped at the border, more Iranian-born people have come forward with accounts of having been detained and questioned, and a growing chorus of officials and civil rights advocates in Washington state came to their defense on Monday.

Negah Hekmati, her husband and their two children arrived at the U.S.-Canada border late Saturday after a ski trip, planning to return to Washington state as they had many times before.

The four U.S. citizens carried Nexus cards, showing they’d been prescreened by U.S. Customs and Border Protection for expedited processing. What they received, Hekmati said, was anything but.

When immigration officers determined that she and her husband were born in Iran, they told them to park their car and bring their children into a room where others with Iranian heritage were also being held. The 38-year-old interior decorator and her husband, a Microsoft engineer, were subjected to intensive questioning during a five-hour overnight ordeal, she told reporters in Seattle on Monday.

The children were afraid to go to sleep in case their parents were taken away, she said. “They shouldn’t experience such things,” said Hekmati, who said she decided for her children’s sake to speak publicly. “They are U.S. citizens.”

Hekmati was one of several Iranian Americans who have offered detailed accounts of being pulled aside and questioned in the days since President Trump ordered the targeted killing of an Iranian general, Qassem Suleimani.

They said that officers took their passports and kept them waiting for five or more hours after determining they were of Iranian ancestry, a procedure that a leading Seattle immigrant rights attorney called illegal.

“What Americans endured over the weekend in Blaine is unacceptable,” said Washington Gov. Jay Inslee. Customs and Border Protection “denials of these reports are simply not credible. We will continue to push for answers to ensure that it does not happen again,” said Inslee, a Democrat.

More than 60 Iranians and Iranian Americans were questioned Saturday, some delayed for as many as 12 hours, according to accounts received by organizations including the Washington state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. The reports came as border officials tightened security after the U.S. killing of Suleimani in Baghdad on Friday.

On Monday, Customs and Border Protection spokesman Jason Givens said the agency continued to stand by a statement issued Sunday that said reports of Iranian Americans being detained or refused entry were false, and blamed delays on short staffing and other factors. Immigrant rights groups had not claimed, however, that people were denied entry or detained in the sense of being locked up — instead saying they were subjected to intensive secondary screening.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) said at a Seattle news conference on Monday that U.S. citizens indeed were held in “some form of detention,” given that without their passports, they could not leave a room where dozens of people with Iranian ties were reportedly made to wait.

“This appears to be another attempt to target and isolate a community that very much is part of our social fabric,” Jayapal said. She is trying to determine whether immigration officers’ tactics result from a national directive, which Customs and Border Protection denies issuing.

Jayapal organized the news conference, at which civil rights and immigrant advocates also spoke.

“These families were not free to leave,” said attorney Jorge Barón, executive director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, a Seattle nonprofit group. “We believe that it was illegal” for U.S. citizens to be singled out for their Iranian origins and held in what amounted to detention, he said.

Masih Fouladi, executive director of the American-Islamic council’s Washington chapter, said his organization heard “tragic and troubling stories” of other Iranian Americans being asked questions akin to loyalty tests. He said the Customs and Border Protection denial was “counter to everything that we saw.”

Washington Lt. Gov. Cyrus Habib, who is Iranian American, said in an interview that he first heard about the border questioning from a man he had known for years — a friend of his late father. The friend said his wife and children described being held up at the border. The woman has hired an attorney and signed a declaration describing her experience.

Habib’s office released the sworn statement to the Los Angeles Times, after redacting the woman’s name at her request. Some other Iranian Americans asked by advocacy organizations and reporters to go public have declined for fear of reprisals.

In her statement, the dual U.S. and Canadian citizen born in Iran says she was held for more than six hours at the Blaine port of entry. She was traveling back to Washington with her 5- and 7-year-old daughters after visiting relatives in Canada for a couple of nights, she wrote.

“We arrived to the Blaine Border around noon,” the woman wrote. “I was asked by U.S. immigration officers if I had anything to declare. They then told me I was selected to go inside, with an officer. They gave me an orange paper to go inside. I thought it was about some food I had with me in the car. I didn’t know what was going on. They took my U.S. passport and my daughters’ U.S. passports.”

When she entered the room, she said, a line of other people stood waiting. “I noticed there were other Iranian people being interviewed and there was a woman who had been waiting since 2 a.m. that day,” she wrote. “She was allowed to leave around 4 p.m.”

Another two hours passed before an officer interviewed her.

When she was finally brought in for questioning, an officer asked for her name and date of birth; the names and dates of birth of parents and siblings; and also where the relatives live and their immigration status, including whether they were dual citizens of Iran and Canada. The officer also asked their occupations and whether they had served in the Iranian military. Military service there is compulsory for all males older than 18, although some wealthy families are able to pay fines to keep their children out of the military.

The woman said in her statement that officers asked her to write family members’ names on a piece of paper while they entered her answers into the computer. They also searched her car, she said.

Federal officers “brought books, toys and coloring paper for our kids, and they brought some juice and crackers for everyone else,” she wrote. “When they brought the food, I started to cry because a strange feeling came to me. I felt like we were in jail, detained for so many hours. The officers had been nice and I can’t say there was mistreatment, but there were no explanations.

“They were just saying it was not their fault and that it was a new procedure.”

The woman said that people of other ethnic backgrounds were processed swiftly. Some were quickly given a stamp and told they could leave, she wrote.

“The motive is pretty obvious,” Habib said. “It’s now recognized by folks on both sides of the aisle that there is a threat of retaliation, and now I guess the motive of CBP is where that [threat] might originate — the problem is they’re treating U.S. citizens this way.”

Habib said he was troubled by the woman’s account.

“People talking today have compared it to the travel ban, but I think it’s important to make the point that these are U.S. citizens. This is completely different,” Habib said. “It really is about the government treating citizens differently based on where they’re from.”

He added: “That’s something that we haven’t seen since Japanese internment. I’m not suggesting this is the same severity as that by any stretch of the imagination … but in the context of foreign conflict spilling over onto U.S. citizens, it is a haunting similarity in tone if in not in degree.”

In a statement, the Japanese American Citizens League denounced the prolonged interrogations, calling them reminiscent of World War II internment of Japanese Americans.

“Our country should have learned its lesson when it targeted Japanese Americans because of our ancestry,” the organization said. “We must not repeat the mistake of casting suspicion on American citizens simply because of their family’s country of origin. Racist discrimination should not be institutionalized under the guise of national security interests.”

The Blues boss thinks his side have earned bragging rights in Manchester, despite suffering a home defeat to the Red Devils in December

Pep Guardiola has aimed a subtle dig at Manchester United ahead of their derby date in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, insisting that Manchester City have a superior record to their rivals in recent years.

City are due to arrive at Old Trafford for their first leg of the semi-final tie against the Red Devils as they bid to defend the trophy they won last term.

The reigning Premier League champions beat Chelsea in the final back in February, but United will be buoyed for the encounter after earning a win at Etihad Stadium last month.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side produced their best performance of the 2019-20 campaign to date during a 2-1 over City on December 7, with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial grabbing the goals for the visitors.

United have not been able to build on that result though, picking up just four wins from their last eight across all competitions.

City, meanwhile, have bounced back from the disappointment of that home defeat to win seven out of eight, and Guardiola certainly does not believe that a power shift has taken place in Manchester.

He told a press conference on Monday: “When you play games for many years sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. 

“Against United, a top club, you can win and lose games. I didn’t come here and expect to beat Man United all the time.

“We’ve beaten them more than we lose in the regular season. That is important.”

Guardiola did, however, reserve praise for Solskjaer, who has faced plenty of criticism for United’s inconsistency this season.

The City boss acknowledges the size of the task the Norwegian has taken on at Old Trafford, but believes his ideas are finally beginning to translate onto the pitch.

“I have the feeling that they’re starting to play the way he wants,” Guardiola said. “Even the last game against Arsenal we saw clearly what he wants.

“It’s not easy to take over a big big club that’s always demanding to be involved in the competition.”

When asked to reveal what he learned from the last derby meeting with United, Guardiola responded: “How fast they are. How solid and aggressive. We conceded a few counterattacks and in just a few seconds they were in the box.”

Victoria Beckham a reçu un accueil très chaleureux des paparazzis à l’aéroport de Los Angeles lundi.

Lundi, Victoria Beckham fêtait ses 43 ans. Le jour-même, elle s’est rendue à l’aéroport de Los Angeles où les paparazzis lui ont réservé un accueil inattendu. Dès que la star est sortie de la voiture, ils ont entonné en choeur un « joyeux anniversaire » plein d’enthousiasme. Tout en la suivant jusqu’au point de contrôle de sécurité, ils lui ont demandé ce qu’elle avait “eu comme cadeau“. Juste avant de disparaître de leur champ de vision, l’épouse de David Beckham a offert aux paparazzis un petit pas de danse et esquissé un de ses très rares sourires.

Le même jour, l’ancienne Spice Girl avait partagé sur Instagram une vidéo de sa petite fille Harper en train de lui chanter un « joyeux anniversaire » adorable. Ses amis et à sa famille n’ont pas manqué d’utiliser les réseaux sociaux pour lui souhaiter le meilleur pour cette quarante quatrième année. Son époux, David Beckham, ainsi que deux anciennes Spice Girls – Mel B et Emma Bunton – lui ont adressé de jolis messages sur Instagram.

David Hallyday a accordé un entretien à Yahoo pour décrire son état d’esprit au moment de la sortie de son nouvel album Le temps d’une vie. L’occasion pour lui de témoigner de son respect pour son père malade, Johnny Hallyday.

David Hallyday est de retour avec un nouvel album, Le temps d’une vie. Il s’était produit sur la scène du Trianon le mercredi 22 mars, en compagnie de sa soeur Laura Smet, pour le dévoiler au public parisien. Le fils de Johnny Hallyday a tardé avant de revenir en chanson sur le devant de la scène. Sept années séparent cet album du précédent, Un nouveau monde. Ces années d’attente, le chanteur les a mises à profit, pour se tourner vers sa famille.

« J’avais passé quinze années à beaucoup tourner. J’avais envie de voir grandir mon fils, j’avais envie de passer un peu de temps à réfléchir à plein de trucs, à faire le vide. »

Se tourner vers les siens pour se ressourcer, c’est un peu la démarche de son père Johnny Hallyday, face à la maladie. Sur ce sujet, David Hallyday ne cache rien. Cette épreuve ne change rien à la haute estime qu’il a pour son père.

« Ce n’est pas parce qu’il a eu ce truc-là qu’on est plus proche maintenant. On a toujours été proche. (…) Ça remet le temps en question, tu te dis que le temps, c’est quand même quelque chose d’important. Les sentiments sont les mêmes. »

Etrangement, David Hallyday ne semble pas inquiet pour son père. Mieux, il voit dans l’histoire de sa famille les éléments pouvant aider à son rétablissement.

« C’est une machine de guerre. Dans la famille, du côté de mon père il y a du viking, du côté de ma mère il y a des mongoles, il y a Attila, des tribus donc je pense que génétiquement ça fonctionne bien, c’est un trait familial. Je pense qu’on avance tous. Quelque soient les barrières, on avance. (…) C’est un lien qu’on a, c’est peut-être génétique. (…) On reste positif, et on y croit! »

A quoi ressemble leur dernière rencontre? A des retrouvailles familiales, tout simplement.

« Quand on se revoit, c’est comme si on ne s’était jamais quitté. (…) On rigole bien. On a juste profité, on s’est marré, raconté des conneries, parlé de la vie. Il a vu mon fils… des trucs de famille, comme tout le monde. »

Des petits moments de vie indispensables au bonheur, et au rétablissement de Johnny Hallyday.

En voilà une belle photo de famille. Sur les réseaux sociaux, Luca Zidane a publié un cliché de sa mère Véronique et de ses trois frères. Ne manque plus que Zinédine Zidane lui-même.

Si la famille de Zinédine Zidane est plutôt discrète, les fils du célèbre footballeur publient régulièrement des clichés de leur quotidien sur les réseaux sociaux. Et mardi 25 avril, Luca Zidane, né en mai 1998, a partagé une nouvelle photo avec ses abonnés. Les internautes ont donc pu découvrir Véronique Zidane entourée de ses quatre fils, Luca mais aussi Enzo l’aîné de la fratrie, Théo et Élyaz, le petit dernier.

Si ce cliché a été publié récemment, cette photo est en réalité un souvenir de vacances pour annoncer quelques jours de repos prévus par la famille : « Bientôt », peut-on lire en légende. Et cette image a suscité de nombreuses réactions sur Instagram puisqu’elle a été likée plus de 21 000 fois.

Et les internautes n’ont pas tardé à évoquer le corps de déesse de Véronique Zidane qui partage la vie du footballeur international depuis 1989. Et après quatre grossesses, elle n’a rien à envier aux jeunes mannequins : « Bravo à la maman, un corps de rêve après quatre enfants », peut-on lire. « Une jolie maman avec ses gardes du corps », a ajouté un autre abonné.

Ce n’est pas la première fois que Véronique Zidane prend la pose avec ses enfants. En décembre 2015, elle était déjà auprès de ses fils pour un joli cliché publié sur le compte Instagram d’Enzo. L’amour, c’est sans doute ça le secret.

L’ancien participant de L’Amour est dans le pré, Christophe Lechevalier, était dimanche dernier le portrait du jour de Libération. L’homme de 49 ans s’est exprimé sur ses opinions politiques.

De l’Amour est dans le pré au Front National. Christophe Lechevalier fait partie des personnages emblématiques du programme de dating d’M6. Après avoir participé à la saison 3, où il était l’éleveur de vaches attendrissant et où il a rencontré Sandrine, il est revenu en 2015 pour une saison spéciale « deuxième chance ». Une expérience dont il garde un souvenir amer, déçu du montage. « Avec le montage, on ne montre pas toujours ce qu’on avait envie de montrer. Bon… ce sont les aléas de la télé, je respecte », a-t-il confié à Libération.

Aujourd’hui, bien qu’encore à la recherche de l’amour, c’est dans la politique qu’il s’illustre. Nos confrères de Libération sont allés à la rencontre de Christophe Lechevalier pour le portrait de l’édition du 1er mai. A 49 ans, cet éleveur du Limousin tente d’expliquer pourquoi il votera Marine Le Pen le 7 mai prochain. Lui qui a toujours été membre du Modem, et deux fois candidat aux législatives, raconte à Libération “les trois cambriolages en quatre ans, évoque les attentats, les voitures de policiers brûlées, les prisons peuplées « de personnes d’origine étrangère” , la fermeture des services publics et la désertification rurale » qui l’ont poussé à rejoindre le FN. Il s’étonne de voir que la gendarmerie « n’ouvre plus que deux jours par semaine ». Patrick Lechevalier pense également qu’une PAF (politique agricole française) « remplacerait avantageusement la PAC. »

Persuadé d’avoir trouvé une nouvelle famille politique, Christophe Lechevalier continue ses explications. « Je suis un démocrate, j’aime pas le bordel. Quand j’étais au Modem, le FN me faisait peur, je pensais que c’était des nazis, qu’ils prônaient la haine. Donc je suis allé les voir avant de m’engager.(…) Ce sont des gens simples qui se prennent pas la tête et qui vont à la rencontre des citoyens. » L’agriculteur termine l’interview en déclarant qu’il ne connaissait pas Emmanuel Macron« au moment de prendre sa carte au FN »

L’un des chouchous des téléspectateurs est « très embêté qu’on puisse penser qu’il est raciste » se défend en affirmant qu’il est « sorti avec une Sénégalaise ».

Si Karine Le Marchand ne s’est pas exprimée suite à ses déclarations, elle avait été très touchée par le suicide de Jean-Pierre, en décembre 2016.

Après les larmes, le temps des témoignages. Plusieurs semaines après le tragique accident de la route du véhicule de la chanteuse Jenifer, ayant causé la mort de deux personnes, une proche de l’une des victimes, la jeune Claire Ponchy s’est exprimée chez nos confrères de Téléstar, et soutient Jenifer face aux attaques dont elle fait l’objet.

Voilà un message qui devrait réconforter la chanteuse Jenifer. Depuis son terrible accident de la route, alors qu’elle était de retour d’un concert dans la nuit de dimanche 5 au lundi 6 mars, la chanteuse se repose en Corse, après avoir annulé les prochains concerts de sa tournée pour se remettre d’aplomb. Depuis son message du 8 mars dans lequel elle expliquait pourquoi elle prenait ce temps « nécéssaire » pour se reconstruire, elle se fait très discrète, pour ne pas attirer les projecteurs sur elle.

Car le lundi 10 mars dernier, lors des obsèques de Claire Ponchy à Amiens, certains de ses proches, dont son frère Steve, avaient manifesté leur colère et leur chagrin en émettant des doutes sur la version officielle des causes de l’accident, et en reprochant à Jenifer sa notoriété et ses blessures très légères.

“Avec son bobo à la jambe, elle est tellement à plaindre… On entend parler d’elle, mais c’est ma soeur qui est décédée !”

Que Jenifer soit rassurée, le temps a pansé certaines plaies, comme le révèle le témoignage d’une proche de la jeune Claire Ponchy, dans les colonnes du magazine Téléstar.

“Le jour du décès de Claire, nous étions sur le coup de la colère, de l’incompréhension. Mais au final, on sait qu’elle n’y est pour rien“.

Pourtant ces reproches ont semble-t-il donné des idées à des internautes haineux. Certains messages sur les réseaux sociaux attaquent la chanteuse pour être sortie indemne de l’accident, et les proches de la victime de l’accident d’avoir mis en scène leur tristesse pour les caméras, ce que déplore cette amie de Claire Ponchy.

“J’ai lu que des gens s’acharnaient sur elle. Comme sur nous d’ailleurs. Ses fans pensent que l’on veut faire de la pub ou je ne sais quoi… “

Avec sa mère à ses côtés à Ajaccio, Jenifer est entre de bonnes mains pour faire rempart à ces attaques, et revenir en force sur scène très vite. Mais le souvenir de ce drame et de la perte de Claire Ponchy, ainsi que de Youcef Touati décédé dix jours plus tard, à l’hôpital, des suites de ses blessures, restera à jamais dans sa mémoire.

Après avoir quitté Amiens pour rejoindre Paris, Brigitte Macron pensait enfin avoir séparé sa vie professionnelle de sa vie sentimentale. Tout a changé le jour où son époux est devenu ministre de l’Économie.

Le jour où Brigitte Macron a choisi de quitter Amiens pour rejoindre l’amour de sa vie à Paris, la professeur de français a laissé derrière elle ses élèves du lycée jésuite de La Providence. Redevenue professeur dans un établissement parisien, la compagne d’Emmanuel Macron a enfin pu profiter de l’anonymat dont elle avait été privée à Amiens. Là-bas, ses élèves connaissaient madame Auzière mais également le jeune Emmanuel Macron, lui aussi scolarisé au sein de l’établissement. A Paris, ce n’est pas le cas. Sa vie privée enfin séparée de sa vie professionnelle, Brigitte Macron s’épanouie une nouvelle fois auprès de ses élèves. Tout bascule pourtant le jour où son mari devient ministre de l’Économie.

En entrant en politique après de longues années dans les coulisses de la finance, Emmanuel Macron savait qu’il était sur le point de sacrifier son anonymat. En septembre 2014, alors que son mari prend ses fonctions à Bercy, Brigitte Macron comprend quant à elle que son couple risque fort d’intéresser les médias. Quel homme politique par le passé s’est déjà targué d’être en couple avec une femme âgée de 24 ans de plus que lui? Selon l’Express, la professeur met alors en garde “sa classe de première contre d’éventuelles sollicitations de la presse« . Quelques jours plus tard, ce qu’elle craignait arrive enfin. Le magazine Closer publie une photo du couple Macron sur sa une. Dans ses pages, ils s’attarde sur le fait que le nouveau ministre de l’Économie est en couple avec « son ex-prof ». Immédiatement, Brigitte Macron craint la réputation que peut faire naître un tel article au sein de l’établissement où elle enseigne désormais. La future première dame de France prend alors les choses en main. Le matin, avant l’ouverture des portes du lycée, elle se rend en urgence chez le kiosquier du quartier. Comme l’explique l’Express, elle lui demande »de dissimuler l’hebdomadaire: elle n’a aucune envie que ses classes la regardent à travers ce prisme-là. Non, elle n’est pas cette prof indigne qui aurait séduit son élève!“. Trois ans plus tard, l’histoire d’amour qu’elle partage avec Emmanuel Macron n’est plus un secret pour personne. Elle fascine même la presse étrangère. Il est aujourd’hui loin le temps où madame Macron devait se cacher pour vivre heureuse.
