A strong message, like a challenge… Brigitte Bardot took to Twitter to make a request to the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron. Which ?
Brigitte Bardot doesn’t beat around the bush: she wants Emmanuel Macron to show courage. The ex-film star, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday, posted a message on his Twitter account on October 22.
BB calls for help: the president targeted
On his account, the star of the films Contempt And The Truth published a photo of a handwritten letter in which she wrote: “I call for the release of Paul Watson (73-year-old Canadian environmental activist, at the helm of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, editor’s note) tomorrow, Wednesday October 23, at 12 p.m., Place de l’Hôtel de Ville, in Paris. I ask President Macron to grant political asylum to Paul Watson. A little courage, Mr. President!“

Brigitte Bardot constantly disappointed by politicians
The former icon of French cinema, who lives isolated in her home in Saint-Tropez with her husband Bernard and her animals, probably does not expect a positive response from Emmanuel Macron. In an interview, Brigitte Bardot has already had the opportunity to discuss her immense disappointment at the inaction of the political class in favor of animals.
“The animal cause is the fifth wheel of the presidential carriage! I’ve had it up to here ! I wrote two open letters to Macron. I have had no response (…) I can only count on public opinion. I am known all over the world for being an animal protector. It’s scandalous that my country does nothing“, she proclaimed in a press release in 2017.
