Passing through Saint-Tropez (Var), Mireille Mathieu took the opportunity to cut a suit for Emmanuel Macron. The French singer, a true idol in Russia, considers that the French head of state does not have the shoulders to be the mediator between Ukrainians and Russians, a year and a half after the start of the conflict. “I’m waiting for a mediator of the stature of a Mandela to bring about a clearing. Alas, I doubt that it is Emmanuel Macron”, hammered the 77-year-old artist, in the columns of the daily newspaper Var Morning.
A long-standing friendship with Putin
She ruled out the possibility of organizing a concert in favor of the Ukrainian people. “It would be political and I don’t want that. No more than in Russia, even if I love this great people, as I already told you last year, ”she swept away.
Speaking for the first time since the start of the war in Ukraine, Mireille Mathieu also returned to her friendship with Vladimir Poutine. “My relationship with him is different from that of the simple head of state, since he welcomed me personally several times when I sang there”, had confided the regular of the Kremlin to nice morning last year.
