This Saturday, January 7, Emmanuel Macron is the exceptional guest of Papotin meetings. This exchange with journalists with autism spectrum disorders extended beyond the recording, as revealed The Parisian.
Like Julien Doré and Camille Cottin, Emmanuel Macron has agreed to take part in the game of questions from Papotin meetings. These are posed by a group of lay journalists with the autism spectrum. Before him, other presidents, such as Jacques Chirac in 2002 and Nicolas Sarkozy in 2015, had been questioned by the editorial staff of the Papotin. “At Papotinwe can say everything: this is the watchword as the host reminds us at the start of each program. The episode shot with the President of the Republic was recorded on November 28 and is broadcast on France 2 this Saturday, January 7.
Disturbing Questions
Although Emmanuel Macron is used to interviews, The Papotin Meetings were able to unseat him as when a participant asked him a question about the genesis of his relationship with his wife Brigitte. Moreover, his interlocutor was himself intimidated at the idea of reading the question out loud. That said, the politician played the game without flinching. “You have taken me to places where I have not been in other interviews with other journalists”, underlined the one who helped a woman on the verge of discomfort. But how did the production manage to convince him? “We made the request to the Élysée and everything was organized quite simply, like the other meetings, apart from perhaps the additional security linked to the function of the guest. We had warned him that he would not would not be possible to do the show if it were to shoot it too quickly in an hour, between two appointments… There are very surprising questions to which the president brings very sincere answers”explained to us one of the producers of the program, Tristan Carné.
