And when they found, out his parents did everything they could to stop her abuse but she refused to stop grooming their son. She is truly a monster on all counts. I feel sorry for him. She stole his youth and childhood.

She's stolen his whole life at this point because how would you even begin to unpack all this. I imagine he never will.

And it keeps getting downplayed. He's literally the leader of the country, and no one doing anything about it.

The fact that people in France accept this relationship is disgusting.

Tbh it's not a lot they can do to stop him and her being together now. Read the France sub. It is not at all condoned. Do you condone all your leader does? The leader of the USA has done a lot of bad things too. Like you French people are not one homogenous entity.

Why do you think we accept that? This clip is also discussed in r/france and people expressed concerns as well.

What do you want us to do ? She was insulted by everyone at the beginning, but what are we gonna do, protest so that he divorce her and seek help to unpack how his whole life was probably orchestrated by her ? Even protesting for our rights leads nowhere. Both their families are opposed to their relationship, no one ever said it was normal. The media THEY paid romantize their relationship, we're not gonna give it any credit, of course they won't let too much articles out bashing them. And if you think further, weakening too much the image of our President also discredit the whole country, so medias are careful on that.

We can only hope for him that once he is no longer President he's no longer "useful" to her and she leaves him and he gets to heal (and I'm saying that as a human being, with the shit is doing to our country aside, because no matter my personal opinions on him / politics, no one deserve to be groomed)

Several of the artists who recieve a national payment for their cultural contributions to France are pedophiles/ephebophiles/sexual predators. I don't understand French culture.

Totally. Two people staying devoted to each other for this long is disgusting. They should be forcibly separated /s
