Amiens, Cathedral town.Talking in the run-up to Easter to campaigners for French election frontrunner Emmanuel Macron in his home town of Amiens and it’s clear to their minds that he has a certain saintliness, even godliness.
Nicolas, a marketing director for a luxury fashion brand in his mid-thirties who studied at the same lycée as Macron and his younger brother describes an event he worked on with Emmanuel, a ceremony for newly graduated bakers.
“We had to stay one hour. He was there for three hours without any cameras. There was a person in a wheelchair who told us, ‘I’ve met dozens of ministers, and Macron is the only one who talked to me crouching down, not sitting in a chair or standing up. He was talking to me on the same level’.
