Macron Opposes 'Emily in Paris' Move to Rome, Sparking Debate with Rome's Mayor

French President Emmanuel Macron insists the Netflix series should remain in Paris, while Rome's mayor dismisses his concerns.

Macron expressed his intent to 'fight hard' to keep 'Emily in Paris' based in the French capital, arguing that the move to Rome 'doesn't make sense.'
Brigitte Macron, the French First Lady, made a cameo in the show's fourth season, which the President praised as beneficial for France's image.
Rome's Mayor Roberto Gualtieri humorously responded, suggesting Macron has more pressing issues to address and should let Netflix make its own decisions.
The series' creator, Darren Star, confirmed that while Emily will have a presence in Rome for season five, she is not abandoning Paris entirely.
The debate highlights the show's impact on tourism and cultural perception, with Macron emphasizing its positive effects on France's global attractiveness.
