More than 190 , 000 people have expressed their opposition toward French President Emmanuel Macron ’ s initiative to create an official First Lady status for his wife , Brigitte Macron, as of Monday morning.
The online petition was published on the change. org platform and created by Thierry Paul Valette, the founder of the “ national equality” movement.
The organisation ’ s aim is to combat corruption and discrimination.
The petition specifies that , if enacted , the special status would allow the first lady benefit from the French budget.
Having an office, staff and an allowance from the public purse are examples of some such benefits .
During his presidential campaign , Macron, who took office in May, said that he wanted to create the position for his wife in order to clarify her status , promising that no public funds would be used to pay her .
