At a time when football is taking a back seat in France, the French team is preparing to play its Euro 2024, against Austria, this Monday evening (9 p.m.). But French footballers wanted to show the importance of the political situation in the country and the voice of its captain Kylian Mbappé rose at a press conference to emphasize that “the extremes are at the gates of power, we have the opportunity to choose the future of our country. I call on all young people to go and vote, to realize the importance of the situation. I hope my voice will carry as much as possible”.
Without naming the National Rally – still the favorite in the polls in the first round of the legislative elections – as Marcus Thuram had done, Kylian Mbappé received criticism from the far-right political party after his exit. “I am struck as a football lover and disappointed (…) His position goes against that of the FFF (…) When you have a lot of money, you can afford to overstep positions of the Federation. It’s not just anyone. He is asked to have a duty of reserve and he does not do it. At the RN, we consider that we must respect all French people. Through this type of position in the middle of the Euro, Kylian Mbappé fractures the country and aggravates the situation (…) The French make a distinction between a multimillionaire and the situation of the country”estimated the spokesperson for the RN, Andréa Kotarac.
