M adonna is not exactly
known for being shy about
voicing her opinions, and
she didn't hold back on the
occasion of the French
presidential election. While she
seems to be just as happy as anyone
that a party fueled by isolationism
and xenophobia was handed the loss,
she also took the opportunity to make
a point about an issue dear to her
heart: ageism. Particularly ageism in
public relationships.
As election results Sunday showed
that centrist candidate Emmanuel
Macron swiftly defeated his far right
opponent Marine Le Pen, Madonna
posted two celebratory videos to
Instagram of her children and their
friends jumping for joy on a
trampoline and dancing in the
kitchen. Madge wrote alongside the
clips, "so happy about elections in
France!!" and "Vive La France!!"
Then, on Monday, Madonna posted a
photo of the victor himself, Macron,
and his wife Brigitte . The pop icon
congratulated the French president-
elect, who at 39 will be the Fifth
Republic's youngest leader, and his
first lady, who is 64, while also
making a relevant point about
ageism.
"Congrats to Emmanuel and Brigitte
Macron." she wrote. "Fun Fact for
Monday is that the first Lady of
France is 24 yrs older than her
husband and no one in France seems
to care about their age difference
nor insisted that Brigitte 'Act her
Age' ...Vive La France!"
