It was at the after-school drama club of Lycée la Providence where she and Emmanuel Macron first met.[13] She was in charge of the after-school theater club he attended when he was 15 alongside her own daughter Laurence who was in his class.[14] Their relationship has attracted controversy, as she is his senior by close to 25 years, and he was a minor; Macron has described it as “a love often clandestine, often hidden, misunderstood by many before imposing itself”.
In 1993, at the age of 39, she met the 15-year-old Emmanuel Macron in Lycée la Providence,[40][41] where she was a teacher and he was a student and a classmate of her daughter.[42] Brigitte divorced Auzière in January 2006 and married Macron on 20 October 2007.
I only know this from a Quebecois perspective, I believe 16 is the age of consent in Quebec, but I doubt any of my cousins were still virgins by the time they were 14. I’m not sure on the logistics of this, but they were very promiscuous even at that age.
So absolutely none of this is shocking to me. This is just the way French people are.

She’s a pedophile
Am I the only person that doesn’t see a problem here?
I mean sure it’s weird. People do weird things. It’s definitely weird enough to gossip about and make memes about.
Has anyone been harmed though? Is there a power imbalance?
Daughter might not be thrilled but it’s not abusive.
It’s fine to have narrow ideas about who you might have a relationship with, but let others do as they wish provided they’re not harming anyone.
Definitely
Now that he’s Pres, sure.
From the Wikipedia article it’s not clear if she waited until he was an adult to pursue the relationship or not.
They had some kind of relationship while he was at school. It’s not clear whether it was sexual.
Age of consent in France is 15. So he was already an adult in this context.
That is wildly too young for consent with an adult, imo, but I’m no expert.

Cucked by your daughter’s classmate.
I wonder if the daughter liked him at the time too.
Imagine having a high school crush and before you can make a move, your mother becomes a pedophile and gets there first.
I wonder what the daughter thought about him.
Or what if he used to bully the daughter to get the mom’s attention, and the daughter actually hates him?
The guy that bullies me is now my step dad?!
“My bully fucked my mom, married her, then became president, fml”
I’m curious who she voted for
