Paris, France – A French magazine has revealed new details about the controversial incident involving French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron aboard a presidential plane. This comes after a media report alleged the existence of romantic messages purportedly sent by the French president to Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani.
Madame Figaro magazine reported that Paris Match journalist Florian Tardev, in his new book, claims the incident stemmed from Brigitte Macron’s discovery of messages he described as “relatively inappropriate.” According to the magazine, the French president had sent these messages to the Iranian actress during a “platonic” relationship. This relationship lasted several months.
Messages attributed to Macron
According to Tardev, the messages contained personal compliments, including: “I think you are very beautiful.” He asserted that the information he revealed was based on what he described as “concrete facts” and testimonies from within the French president’s inner circle.
The writer indicated that the relationship never went beyond an informal, personal level. However, he emphasized that the content of the messages caused tension within the French president’s close circle.
These leaks sparked controversy in French media and political circles. This is particularly true as they coincided with increased interest in the French president’s personal life in European media.
The Élysée Palace has already commented on the incident
Observers believe that revealing such details could reignite the debate in France about the limits of media coverage of the private lives of political figures. This comes at a time when Macron is facing domestic political pressures. He is also dealing with complex foreign policy issues on the international stage.
The Élysée Palace had previously commented on the incident that was reported in the media on the plane. It described what happened as an “intimate moment” between the French president and his wife. The palace denied any political or personal dimensions beyond the president’s private life.
There has been no new official comment yet from the French presidency regarding what was mentioned in the book. There has also been no comment on what the French magazine published about the nature of the alleged relationship.
