French football star Kylian Mbappé has taken a stand on the upcoming French legislative elections. He addressed the press conference from Germany, where he is competing in the European Football Championship.
In his speech, Mbappé emphasized the importance of democratic participation and urged young people to participate in the election process. He expressed his opposition to “extremes” in politics and stated that he does not want to represent a country that goes against its values.
Mbappé highlighted the significance of the moment in France’s history and stressed that it is crucial for young people to be aware of their rights and responsibilities. He emphasized values such as tolerance, diversity, and respect and expressed his trust in the French people’s ability to make informed decisions.
Despite requests for neutrality from the French Football Federation, Mbappé and his teammate Marcus Thuram have been vocal about their political views. Thuram previously spoke out against the far-right National Regrouping party, while Mbappé expressed support for Thuram’s stance on democratic participation.
Mbappé’s message resonated with both French citizens and fans on social media platforms who were impressed by his call for values-based decision-making in politics. His influence has sparked discussions about democracy beyond just sports fields.
Mbappé’s message encourages a new generation to actively shape their country’s future through democratic participation, reminding us all that we have a role to play in shaping our world.
