Several members of France's Euro 2024 squad have been celebrating 'the people's victory' and have expressed their 'relief' after Marine Le Pen's far-right party,National Rally,suffered defeat in the country's snap election on Sunday.
While Didier Deschamp's side have advanced to the semi-finals of Euro 2024,some of his players have been vocal on their political stance against Le Pen's party. Kylian Mbappe,Marcus Thuram and Jules Kounde have all previously called for young people to vote in the snap election to stop National Rally from gaining power.
National Rally were pushed to third in the ballot,in what was a shocking defeat for Le Pen. New Popular Front alliance (NFP) - led by Jean-Luc Melenchon - claimed a majority victory,amassing 182 seats in the French Parliament while Emmanuel Macron's Ensemble 'Together' placed second with 168 seats.
It has been a busy weekend for the country,with their national football team eking out a victory against Portugal on penalties on Friday night,to set up a mouth-watering tie against Spain in Tuesday's semi-final.
But on Sunday,several French stars took to social media to express their delight and 'relief' that Le Pen's far-right party did not sweep a majority vote.
Inter Milan star,Thuram,has also previously urged members of the public to vote against National Rally
'It is pressing - we saw the results,it is catastrophic. I think now,more than ever,you need to get (out to vote).'
Yet,Mbappe was slammed by Le Pen on Sunday,who urged the France captain to stop dictating to members of the public over how they should vote.
'The French are tired of being lectured and advised on how to vote. This election is a vote of emancipation in which the French want to regain control of their destiny and vote as they see fit,' she said to CNN France.
'Mbappe does not represent the French with a migrant background,because there are many more of them who live on the minimum wage,who cannot afford housing or heating,than people like Mr Mbappe.'
