Summary
Bernadette Chirac, the beloved widow of former French President Jacques Chirac and a force in her own right, has died at 93. A devoted partner for over six decades, she was also a respected politician, serving as a Corrèze department councillor for 36 years and leading the “Yellow Coins” charity campaign. Known for her sharp political mind and conservative views—often more so than her husband—she remained a public figure until her final appearance in 2018, helping unveil a street honoring both of them. She passed peacefully Friday evening, surrounded by family. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
