Mbappé Urges Youth Vote Against Extremism in French Legislative Elections
ai generated text
French athletes and former athletes have joined forces to urge a vote against the far-right party, stating that the extreme right is opposed to building a democratic, tolerant, and dignified society. This move comes as Emmanuel Macron has called for a snap election following Marine Le Pen's victory in the National Rally. Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappé has urged young voters to stand against "extremist" parties, without explicitly endorsing or opposing any specific party. His teammate Marcus Thuram has also spoken out, calling on France to fight every day to stop the far-right National Rally, which some have interpreted as a criticism of Le Pen's party.
I like Mbappé as a player, but I don't expect him to give me lessons in politics.
I do not expect people who I consider quite far removed from reality [...] to give lessons to the French.
We are a generation that can make a difference. We see the extremes are knocking on the door of power and we have the opportunity to shape our country's future.
The Euros is very important in our careers, but we are citizens first and foremost and I don't think we can be disconnected from the world around us.
