Kylian Mbappé’s position against “the extremes” continues to provoke reactions
Several political leaders reacted this morning to the comments that Kylian Mbappé made yesterday. Calling on the French people and “especially the younger generation” to vote in the legislative elections, the football star said he wanted to defend “values of diversity, tolerance, respect”.
While his colleague Marcus Thuram called on Saturday to “ fight so that the RN does not pass”Kylian Mbappé said “ sharing[r] the same values as Marcus.” “I am against extremes, ideas that divide”he added.
Given the aura of the attacker, this position did not please the far right. “I don’t allow myself to give lessons on football, I don’t feel qualified, not legitimate. It’s good that everyone stays in their own domain,” reacted on Franceinfo Nicolas Bay, elected MEP on a Reconquest list! and now breaking up with Eric Zemmour.
” I do not know if [sa voix] relates to these political questions, he added. It is important that everyone stays in their place, democracy consists of giving power to the French, not manipulating them, exploiting them, mixing everything up. »
On the other hand, Kylian Mbappé’s position received the approval of the Prime Minister. “I deeply believe that young people who speak to young people, who are models for them, obviously are in their role when they call on them to fulfill a civic duty which is that of voting, and then, indeed, he said that he refused the extremes, which are the fuel of division, of hatred of others. I think a lot of young people find themselves behind Kylian Mbappé. Afterwards, I think that young people will look at the programs, the ideas and have their say,” declared Gabriel Attal on RTL.
