French soccer star Kylian Mbappé has expressed concern over the recent first round of French elections, labeling the results as 'catastrophic' as the far-right anti-immigration party National Rally (RN) emerged as the leading party. Mbappé, who captains France's national soccer team, emphasized the urgency for the French public to exercise their voting rights, especially in the face of the current political landscape.
President Emmanuel Macron's decision to call snap parliamentary elections has stirred political uncertainty in France, with the far-right gaining significant traction. The RN secured 33.15% of the vote in the first round, positioning them as a formidable contender for political power, potentially marking the first time a far-right party enters the French government since World War II.
