Some Lesser Known Facts About Emmanuel Macron

Emmanuel Macron was born on December 21, 1977, and stood as the youngest candidate in the 2017 French presidential election at the age of 39.

Before becoming President of France, Macron was an investment banker and Secretary-General at the Elysee Palace.

Macron did not perform national service because he was pursuing his graduate studies. Born in December 1977, he belonged to the last year when service was mandatory.

François Macron has spoken of tolerance towards Muslim immigrants, but he recognizes the threat from extremists. Talking about the possibility of completely avoiding terrorist attacks, he said that “the option of zero risk does not exist” in an April interview with RTL.

Macron received support from former US President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the presidential election.

An award-winning pianist, he has won numerous prizes. Sounds impressive, but when did it earn him the prize? The encyclopedia is strangely silent on the subject. In an interview with ClassiqueNews.com, Macron said he would like to play again “as soon as I have the time”, expressing particular affection for Robert Schumann (“he has images and feelings that I cannot find anywhere elsewhere”) and Liszt (“this great European, resolutely modern, anchored in the great tradition — the incandescence of his Years of Pilgrimage remains intact after so many years”)

When he was appointed economy minister in 2014, the French newspaper Le Monde proclaimed him the “Mozart of the Elysée”. This label was picked up by other European publications, including Die Welt in Germany in 2015. While she was his teacher, his wife told a friend she felt like she was working with Mozart, according to Anne Fulda, his biographer.

Although he has written many novels, he refuses to let them be read. According to Macron, he has unpublished works including “an epistolary novel about the Aztecs, a love story, and one about a pianist who plays with time”. Obviously, this raises many questions, especially about the meaning of the word “epistolary”.

He founded a new political party En Marche.

His former classmates had predicted that he would succeed in politics. “Everyone who met him knew at the time that he was someone extraordinary, that he was different,” Antoine Marguet told the BBC.

In Paris, Macron failed to gain entry to the École normale supérieure twice.

As president of France, Macron also serves ex officio as one of the two co-princes of Andorra.

Macron and his wife met during a theatre workshop that she was giving when he was a 15-year-old student and she was a 39-year-old teacher, but they only became a couple once he was 18.

Some of his hobbies include skiing, playing tennis, and boxing.

On 27 August 2017, Macron and his wife Brigitte adopted Nemo, a black Labrador Retriever-Griffon dog who lives with them in the Élysée Palace.

A fan of football, Macron is a supporter of the French club Olympique de Marseille. During the 2018 World Cup, he attended the semi-final between France and Belgium with the Belgian King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, and at the World Cup final against Croatia, he sat and celebrated alongside Croatian president Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović. Macron received widespread media attention for his celebrations and his interactions with the Croatian president.

He has a huge fan following on social media. He has 3m followers on Instagram, 8.2 m on Twitter, and 247k subscribers on Youtube as of 2022.
