“More than ever, we must go and vote, it is really urgent,” says Kylian Mbappé

For his third appearance at a Euro 2024 press conference, Kylian Mbappé was again asked about the legislative elections on Thursday, July 4, in Hamburg (Germany). Without mentioning the risk of seeing the National Rally obtain an absolute majority in the National Assembly, the latter twice used the term“emergency”. “More than ever, we need to go and vote. It’s really urgent. We can’t leave our country in the hands of these people. It’s really urgent. We’ve seen the results, it’s catastrophic. We hope that it will change, that everyone will mobilize to vote and vote for the right side.”supported the captain of the French team.

Before the first round, he had called “young people to go and vote” because “the extremes” were “at the gates of power”. This statement had maintained the vagueness, perhaps putting on the same level the two opposing camps on the political chessboard, Rassemblement National, therefore, and Nouveau Front Populaire. On Thursday, by a joke, he seems to have given a preference. When a journalist pointed out to him that he was at his “leftmost” Before asking him a question, Kylian Mbappé answered him, hilariously, “Luckily you weren’t on the other side”.

The new Real Madrid player is not the only player present at the Euro who has taken a stand. Marcus Thuram was the first to draw his gun against the RN. Ibrahima Konaté, on Saturday, and Jules Koundé, on Monday, also dared to criticize the rise of racism in France. “What is happening in France worries me. We cannot leave power to certain people who are aiming to divide people. Diversity, in France, is our strength and it always has been.”for example, declared Ibrahima Konaté.
