What does June 17 mean?

This Monday, June 17, the French football team enters competition at Euro 2024, the day after declarations by its captain against “extremes”. A speech which, like Emmanuel Macron, puts the RN and LFI back to back.

“Hi it’s Leo, what does it say?”

This Monday, June 17, what is an extremist party? On the eve of the Blues’ entry into competition at Euro 2024, Kylian Mbappé on Sunday called on the French to mobilize for the legislative elections on June 30 and July 7. He seemed to put the National Rally and La France insoumise back-to-back.

Even if the captain of the France team “sided” with his teammate Marcus Thuram, who called on Saturday to “fight so that the RN does not pass”, Kylian Mbappé declared himself against ” the extremes” in the plural, without making a difference between the RN and LFI which have “ideas that divide”.

In this episode, “That says what” recalls the last opinion of the Council of State on the question, placing the National Rally on the side of the extreme right but La France insoumise in the “left” bloc.

“What does it say?”, a podcast to listen to from Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. on franceinfo.fr, on the franceinfo WhatsApp channel, on TikTok or on all podcast platforms:
