Mayor of Rome tells Macron to relax because ‘Emily in Paris’ is moving to Italy

The mayor of Rome has a message for President Emmanuel Macron of France: “You really cannot intimidate or disrupt Netflix’s production plans for the next season of Netflix. Emily in Paris. It’s just not done,” says Roberto Gualtieri The Hollywood reporter Roma.

Gualtieri, a man who says he loves Paris and is close friends with Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, was more than a little miffed Wednesday morning when President Macron announced Variety that he intended to ‘fight hard’ to keep it popular Emily of a permanent migration from the City of Light to the Eternal City.

Netflix has already made that clear Emily will enjoy a kind of Roman holiday in the fifth season, but Macron’s Gallic pride seems to be mortally wounded.

Macron said on Wednesday that he and his wife love the series. Brigitte Macron, the First Lady, even made a cameo appearance on an episode of the show in September. In her cameo, Madame Macron is seen eating at the same restaurant in Paris as Emily. The two meet and then take a selfie together. Emily tells Brigitte Macron she loves France, to which the First Lady replies: “And my country loves you, Emily.”

President Macron added that he was “super proud” of his wife, explaining that the show itself is “super positive in terms of attractiveness to the country… a very good initiative.”

When asked how he plans to return Emily to Paris from Rome, Macron sounded Churchillian. “We will fight hard,” said the president of France. “We will ask them to stay in Paris! Emily in Paris in Rome makes no sense.”

The mayor of Rome was at first baffled and eventually laughed at the Macron doctrine regarding the fate of Emily Cooper. He first discussed the dispute with a tweet: “Take it easy, Emmanuel Macron. Emily in Rome is perfect.”

Then he called THR Roma and he told us what he really thinks.

“Doesn’t President Macron have more pressing matters on his mind?” Mayor Gualtieri wondered. “I would like to believe, or at least I would like to hope, that Macron was joking, because he should know that a production company like Netflix does not take orders from heads of state and does not make decisions based on political pressure.”

The mayor of Rome continued: “There may be some more pressing issues for the French president. For example, there are a few wars going on in Ukraine and in the Middle East, there is a terrible hurricane that hit America that is linked to climate change, and a few other state affairs in Europe for Macron that are more important than climate change. Emily, I can imagine that.’

Gualtieri added that from Rome’s point of view, the idea of ​​having exists Emily in Italy makes perfect sense. “We see Emily’s move to Rome as confirmation that our city is becoming increasingly important, and we are quite relaxed about Netflix’s production decisions. They know what they’re doing. Frankly, we think Mr Macron should just relax,” the mayor said.

Gualtieri said he spoke about Macron’s unusual statement with Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. “We talked and chuckled about Macron,” he said. The mayor of Paris has now given permission THR Roma to report that she has indeed discussed the matter Emily in Paris with Gualtieri. “We laughed together,” said the mayor of Paris. “I love Rome, and we are both exclusive cities,” she added.
