Brigitte Bardot’s funeral divides French politics: Le Pen will be present, Macron absent

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen will attend the funeral of cinema legend Brigitte Bardot next week, but not President Emmanuel Macron, their teams announced on Tuesday. In her later years, Bardot was a staunch supporter of the far right and was convicted in court of hate speech, sparking debate over whether or not France should grant her the honor of a national farewell ceremony.
