It was a double meeting closed to the press which did not appear on the agenda of the Head of State. Last Thursday, November 23, Emmanuel Macron celebrated the 40th anniversary of the GSPR (Security Group of the Presidency of the Republic), paying tribute to all the gendarmes and police officers responsible for ensuring the security of French heads of state and their families 24 hours a day. “Guardian angels” in the words of the president.
In addition to the numerous authorities from the national gendarmerie and police as well as the Paris police headquarters who were gathered at the Élysée, at the invitation of the President of the Republic, a guest did not go unnoticed in the room : Nicolas Sarkozy. If François Hollande had also been invited, he was not present. Enough to allow the two presidents Macron and Sarkozy to have lunch together, immediately, according to information from the Tribune du Dimanche.
“What condemns the hostages is silence”
By coincidence, the tête-à-tête took place the day before Nicolas Sarkozy’s appearance at the bar, during his appeal trial in the Bygmalion case. However, the two presidents did not talk about justice but about domestic and international politics, after the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel. On November 8, Nicolas Sarkozy notably received the mother and brother of Mia, a young Franco-Israeli woman held hostage by Hamas. Because for the former president, “what condemns the hostages is silence”.
