Whole thing is so creepy.

She looks very fit for her age. I think the creep factor is she is a pedophile and probably his handler. These people roll completely differently from norms.

As someone who has been the object of affection of a teenager for many years, I don't really see much to get all bent about in this story as Macron was 15 years old. He apparently persistent in his intentions and he also shoulders co-parental responsibilities... Meets the most basic definition of continued intent on Macron's part.

Yes, the French DGAF because the French don't infantilize their young people (or young adults) against their will. What I mean by this is that young people who are determined to accomplish certain things uncommon for people in their age group (not just romantic, but also work, travel, etc.) will not be "protected against their will from themselves". It's called "Laisser vivre" (let people live "their" lives... i.e. personal choice and goals trumps all).

The caveat is the power imbalance between young adults and actual adults (those of us who have attained adulthood via practical independence).

So what happened to my 18 y.o. "pretendant"? He is quite grateful for the head start I gave him in life and still running the business I set up for him 10 years ago with much success. And it is because I told him from day 1 about the many caveats of our relationship and that I would continue to look for a partner my age (which I have found). Everybody still happy.

A lot of teens like older women, they are horny and will chase anything. The problem is that she was his teacher and he was 15, not 18. There is a big difference in 3 years.

EvaEverywhere

I agree with you. We do not know the intimate details of their romance aside from Macron's avowed interest in her so it's just a case of two people being widely mismatched in age who appear to be a pretty successful couple nevertheless. It's the reverse gender of Celine Dion and Rene Angelil (who started managing her at 12) and have become a pretty famous and close couple. for now I'll be more worried about the people who are sounding the alarm about R. Kelly keeping women as slaves.

This implies it is the pedo wife who is really running France.

toolatenow

I suppose no one today cares about who anyone is married to. Call me old fashioned but do you not find that disturbing?

NeoGoat

Yes.

NeoGoat

WTF??? The French people must have known and not cared?????

toolatenow

I guess? I didn't know. Was there even a post on Voat?

NeoGoat

I don't recall one and I was watching voat. I only recall something coming out the Saturday before which was banned from coverage in France because it was too close to the polling.

toolatenow

Same here. I hadn't heard about how she was had an affair with him as her 15 year old student. Is that illegal in France?

I guess people knew and weren't smart enough to care. Fuck em. I give up on humanity, I'm going to be a hermit in nature.

Notice the article says their romance started at a Jesuit College. After that he made a large amount of money in banking. Was there a MK Ultra Program at that Jesuit College? There is definitely something to be questioned here. That bit of news certainly made me sit up straight. They could have been interested in him as another carbon copy of Trudeau and Obama. Remember these plans were hatched way before we even had an inkling.

toolatenow

Quite possibly. They are practically bred for their roles I think.

carmencita

You are so very right.

carmencita

Yes it was covered right when he was elected. The night before he won they released his hacked emails on 4chan. Also in articles the whole ugly business was revealed. A lot of people hashed out Macron, Trudeau and Obama and the sameness of them. I don't get it either, the ignorance of the pedophile teacher bedding down the 15 yr. old student. I guess nothing shocks some people. Thank God that some still have morals. We have to remember that most people do, we live in the strangeness of the pedo world. @toolatenow

toolatenow

I remember that but I didn't see anything about the pedo thing. I believe it was a release by wikileaks.

carmencita

They did not make it so blatant. Also, it is more obvious to us, people that live with and read this stuff everyday. It came out, but this article is more in your face actually. It is about time. We need more of this.

toolatenow

ah I found this: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-election-macron-book-idUSKBN17E21X

I guess it was already known about and no one cared?

carmencita

If you notice, their romance started at a Jesuit College where she taught. This should raise eyebrows. Was their MK Ultra at this college? Has he been under their control? Is she his handler? Also at a young age he made a slew of money in banking. A payback? I believe they wanted another Trudeau and Obama and he was it. Some may say that the dates do not coincide. But remember that these plans were hatched way before we know. The Jesuit College info should make us sit up quite straight.

spacewitch

Yep! On a (quite) related note, I found a tweet of Al-Qaeda spokesperson congratulating Macron for his election as president.

I'm sorry to say I can't find the archive on my computer, because since I tagged Macron the Al-Qaeda tweet was deleted... I need to search again.

carmencita

This does not surprise me one bit that it was deleted. That should tell us something. I had quite a time getting my reply to register. Really strange, because I opened another voat page and could do everything else, had no problem. When I went back to the page I had to start all over again and retype my comment and if finally went through. Very odd. Let me know if you achieve your archive search.

Skeptic2

It was known.

toolatenow

not well enough, I never even heard it.
