Following racist attacks on the French national football team and Kylian Mbappé, condemnation is nearly unanimous. The stance of the National Rally and potential political benefit for President Macron are discussed.
Racist attacks against the French national football team and its captain Kylian Mbappé have sparked nearly unanimous condemnation.
Discussions highlight the National Rally's (Rassemblement national) silence in criticizing the team captain. Questions arise as to why the party has muted its criticism of Mbappé.
Additionally, it is debated whether President Emmanuel Macron can capitalize politically on the performance of the French team. Meanwhile, Jean-Luc Mélenchon shows no interest in the topic.
These issues are debated by POLITICO journalists Anthony Lattier, Pauline de Saint Remy, and Elisa Bertholomey.
