For half-time, Emmanuel Macron should wear the jersey of the Variétés Club de France this Thursday, October 14, for a charity match organized in favor of the foundation of the Hospitals of France, which his wife Brigitte Macron chairs, as revealed The Parisian.
An opportunity to show off your crampons skills. This Thursday, October 14, Emmanuel Macron has a very special meeting on the agenda, which will be held on the lawn of the Léo Lagrange stadium in Poissy. The President of the Republic will play, from 5.15 p.m. and for half-time, under the colors of the Variétés Club de France. The club, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2021, brings together big names in the history of football, and donates the funds from some of the meetings to charitable organizations. This is the case for this high-flying meeting, where Emmanuel Macron will be able to make passes to this team where Robert Pirès, Christian Karembeu, Arsène Wenger, Alain Giresse, Claude Puel, Rudi Garcia, Sidney Govou will meet, among former professionals soccer. They will also have Richard Gasquet as a teammate, but also a much more political member: the mayor of the city, Karl Olive, a close friend of the head of state.
Under the eyes of the spectators (well informed, because according to our colleagues from Le Parisien who reveal this Monday, October 11 the information, the meeting should take place 'at closed counters'), they will face a team made up of nursing staff from the intermunicipal hospital center from Poissy Saint-Germain-en-Laye. And among these informed spectators: Brigitte Macron, who will be there in her capacity as president of the Fondation des Hôpitaux de France, to whom the proceeds of the meeting must be given. There is no doubt that she will not fail to encourage her husband president with all her might. The game will look like a second half for the Head of State, since he should announce earlier in the day on Thursday a series of measures in favor of the world of sport, and local sports activities , who, like others, have suffered the full force of the health crisis.
Third half at the Élysée
Should we see in these announcements and this match, with immense reach in terms of communication, a campaign maneuver? Le Parisien affirms that the meeting was planned well before the summer, when the Variétés club played in Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises, for the inauguration of a brand new Charles-de-Gaulle stadium. Given the health situation, Emmanuel Macron had not gone there, but had already promised to put on the club's chasuble with the daisy: "I can't be with you, but I'll come and play when the health situation will allow it”, would have affirmed the president to Karl Olive. "And then you will come to the Élysée for the third half," he concluded. Will Emmanuel Macron go straight to the point this Thursday, in honor of this Olympique de Marseille whose colors he likes to wear?
