“Very cruel to me.” Secret messages reveal the hidden face of the French president!

French journalist Françoise Degoa has published a new book entitled "You are all too cruel to me." The controversial book revealed the content of messages via the Telegram application that Françoise exchanged with French President Emmanuel Macron. The messages showed a president who “appears isolated” and does not hesitate to criticize his opponents, and even some of those close to him, according to what was reported by the French “RMC” network website.

How did the story start?

In the summer of 2024, communication began between Emmanuel Macron and journalist Françoise Degua. Macron was the first to open channels of communication with the left-leaning journalist, in order to “thank her” for her defense of French First Lady Brigitte Macron, who was the target of a campaign that promoted conspiracy theories and claimed that she was a man.

Macron wrote to journalist Françoise, saying: “I thank you, and my wife also thanks you. Political differences aside, what really matters are your words.” Francosa took the opportunity to continue exchanging letters with Emmanuel Macron over a period of two years, according to what various French media outlets reported.

Françoise said in this regard: “This book is not a document to polish his image. He does not need that, nor is it a caricatured attack aimed at harming him.” She added: "It is a political document aimed at trying to understand this isolated man, who knows France more than many people think, but today finds himself in a predicament that he himself largely contributed to creating, at a time when his term is approaching the end." According to what was reported by the "France Info" website.

What was stated in the messages?

The French magazine Galle noted that the private conversations between Macron and Françoise took place away from the limelight, and included moments in which Macron abandoned his reservations and expressed his feelings with great frankness. According to the messages, Macron showed his anger at some of his critics, describing them as “crazy” or “fools,” and he also spoke of his fears about the possibility of the far-right National Rally party coming to power in 2027.

Among what was stated in the letters was that Emmanuel Macron categorically ruled out the idea of resigning from his position. Macron said in this regard: "I resign? Never! Not for any reason! I do not intend to escape responsibility. I will continue to advance."

Macron also defended his decision to dissolve the National Assembly, saying: “This dissolution of the National Assembly, which cost me a lot in all respects, nevertheless succeeded in stopping the National Assembly there. I am sure of that. The party was ready for the fall, but it was not ready for June. This is one of the reasons I made the decision.”

Harsh criticism

The French President did not hesitate to direct harsh criticism at his political opponents, as he described the socialists as "fools." He also attacked figures from the right: “Most right-wing men quickly rush into the arms of the National Assembly in search of gains and positions.”

As for Marine Le Pen, the National Rally's potential presidential candidate, Macron said: "She will not be able to hide her natural inclinations and her true tendencies in support of Putin and the MAGA movement. She will not succeed in that. The French hate this matter. The presidential elections reveal the true positions."

He also acknowledged the existence of a rift with his former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal: “We gave him everything, and more than we should,” according to what was reported by the French “RMC” network website.

The press, in turn, was not spared criticism from Emmanuel Macron. Macron said in this regard: “I am being attacked on CNN News from morning until evening, so how can I be friends with them?”

Macron and the future

As the end of his stay (2027) in the Elysee Palace approaches, Emmanuel Macron began to think about the outcome of his years of rule. Macron expressed his dissatisfaction with the bleak picture painted for his presidency. He said: "We have made changes in eight years. We have accomplished a lot in combating separatist tendencies, and in improving purchasing power... And oftentimes, you and those around you are very cruel to me."

He did not clearly reveal his future plans, but he provided some indications. In this regard, he said: “I will not work for anyone. I would rather have a small house that I own than a large house that others have. In any case, if I enter the business field, it will be through my own project.” He added: "I think I will probably do this outside of France. But I will not be their employee, and I will not owe them anything. Never," according to what the "France Info" website indicated.

It is noteworthy that journalist Françoise Degua confirmed that she did not ask the president’s permission to publish these messages. While the Elysee Palace was not informed of the book’s publication until November 2. A person close to President Emmanuel Macron said that the latter was “dissatisfied” with that step.
