When they were younger, Gaëlle and her big sister dreamed of being Presidents of the Republic. A few years later, the youngest did not forget this child’s game and suddenly wanted to give a presentation on this very high function in order to present it to her class. “ I had a few questions for him so I asked my mom if she could help me do some researchsays the young resident of Hallines. She told me I could write her a letter. » The idea clicked. Gaëlle starts a first version, then gives up for a few days before getting back to it again.
“I would like to know at what age one can become president”
With the few spelling errors corrected and her most beautiful handwriting written down, Gaëlle’s letter to Emmanuel Macron was posted on October 28. But what did she ask him? “ I would like to know at what age one can become president, if it is difficult to be a candidate, if he travels a lot and if he receives a lot of mail “, she explains. Gaëlle also asked Emmanuel Macron if he thought a girl could become president. The young Hallinoise finally has some proposals to put in her program in the event of a possible candidacy. With a strong theme (and one that is sorely lacking in our society at the moment): solidarity. “ We should give more money to the homeless and more food for Restos du coeur “, she suggests.
Having an answer, Gaëlle didn’t really believe it. So when, on November 8, her mother told her that she had received an email from the Élysée, “ I thought it was my parents playing a joke on me “. And yet. “ Dear Gaëlle, you recently wrote to the President of the Republic », Says this email which ends with an invitation addressed to the young girl to go to the Christmas tree at the Élysée on December 11. This party has taken place since 1889 in the presidential palace and brings together hundreds of children for a show and a snack. The presidential couple always looks at it.
President of the Republic, “it must be very difficult”
« I just saw that there was a big tree”says Gaëlle who regrets “ not being able to live this experience with [s]es parents », who cannot enter the grounds of the Élysée. The young Hallinois hopes to meet President Macron there and receive in person answers to the questions which she will then present to her class.
But in fact, what does Gaëlle think of the post of President of the Republic? “ It must be very difficult because there are a lot of responsibilities and you have to try not to make too many mistakes. » The truth always comes out of the mouths of children.
