French President Emmanuel Macron

Macronade is a French neologism used to describe or criticize certain expressions made by the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron. This term refers to expressions or soundbites delivered during press interviews, on television, or in public speeches. The term "macronade" became popular in 2016 when Emmanuel Macron was Minister of Economy under President François Hollande and the term was used to describe the Minister's soundbites and comments, which were synonymous with nonsense (âneries). Although some "macronades" or unfortunate expressions may have been regretted by Emmanuel Macron at the beginning of his presidency, their use has become more widespread throughout his time in office. Before him, another French political figure, former Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin, was known for similar soundbites, which were called "raffarinades".
