asks him for “restraint” and not to give “political lessons”

The footballer’s appeals Kylian Mbappé to vote against the “extremes”, which would include the Marine Le Pen’s far-rightthey have not liked at all within National Group, from where they have asked the captain of the French team “for a little containment” and? do not give “political lessons” because it doesn’t belong.

The first to raise his voice against Mbappé was the vice president of the National Group, Sébastien Chenu, who considers that “when one has the honor of wearing the shirt of the French team” in the Eurocup “you have to have a little restraint.”

Furthermore, he believes that “many” sympathizers of the extreme right led by Le Pen “do not expect political lessons from him,” although he admits that “You have the right to have an opinion”although it seems not to express it in public.

“I don’t think that people who I consider disconnected from political life have to come and give lessons to the French,” Chenu continued just one day after Mbappé warned that France faces a “crucial” moment in the upcoming legislative elections of the June 30 and July 7 and came out in defense of “the values ​​of tolerance, diversity and respect” versus the “extremes”.

The spokesperson for the National Group, Laurent Jacobelli He has also referred to these words and has reinterpreted them in his own way, even ensuring that he is “right.” “I do not take it for grantednor our party, for the extreme term,” he said this Monday in Franceinfo.

Mbappé’s words

“The extremes are at the doors of power and we have the opportunity to choose the future. I call on all young people to go vote. We need to identify with diversity and tolerance, respect,” the footballer said this Sunday at a press conference in the middle of the Euro Cup, although at no time did he mention any politician or party by name. Only those from Le Pen’s National Group They have been taken for granted.

“We know that it is a crucial moment for the history of France, an event without precedents“, he continued. “We are a generation that can Make a Differencewe can see that the extremes They are knocking on the door of power and we have the chance to shape the future of our country,” he added.

Mbappé, a “model”

The Macron Government has a completely opposite opinion. The first Minister, Gabriel Attal, who aspires to re-election in the legislative elections, has considered that Mbappé is “in his role” and has vindicated the capacity of this type of figure when it comes to being “model” for young.

In this sense, he has assured in statements to RTL that he limited himself to defending “a civic duty which is that of voting” and has expressly praised the fact that he took a position against extremism, since he considers that they encourage “the division and hatred.

Now, Attal hopes “that young people review the programs, the ideas (of each party) and speak out” at the polls with all the polls giving the winner to Marine Le Pen’s far-right.
