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 (9pm). But the French footballers were keen to show the importance of the country’s political situation and the voice of its captain Kylian Mbappé was raised at a press conference to stress 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 become aware of the importance of the situation. I hope that my voice will carry as much as possible”.
Without naming the National Rally – still the favourite 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 statement. “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 override the positions of the Federation. He is not just anyone. We ask him to have a duty of reserve and he does not do it. At the RN, we consider that we must respect all French people. With this type of position in the middle of the Euro, Kylian Mbappé is fracturing the country and poisoning the situation (…) The French are making a distinction between a multimillionaire and the situation of the country.”estimated the spokesperson of the RN, Andréa Kotarac at BFM TV.
