Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron’s allocation of 600,000 euros for flower spending last year drew reaction.

It turned out that French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron spent 600,000 euros last year for flowers in the Elysee Palace, their official residence in the capital Paris.

MORE THAN SARKOZY

The French newspaper Politis pointed out that Macron’s flower spending was five times higher than that of his predecessors Hollande and Sarkozy.

In a period when the Elysee Palace closed to the public due to the coronavirus. Very few receptions held and economic problems experienced, the increase in the flower budget attracted reaction in the French public.
