French player Aurélien Tchouaméni, from Real Madrid, said this Sunday (23) that he is “horrified” by “extreme” political options, in a reference to the early legislative elections in France, which will take place on June 30 (first round) and 7 July (second round).
“In daily life, I am horrified by extremes. I am in favor of a policy of unity, which best represents France”, he declared in Paderborn (Germany), where the French team is concentrated for the European Championship.

Following the victory of the far-right National Regroupment (RN) party in the European elections in France, the country’s president, Emmanuel Macron, dissolved the National Assembly and called early elections. The political situation in the country is frequently mentioned by the national team’s players.
Striker Marcus Thuram called on June 15 for voters to vote against the far-right of Marine Le Pen, who won the European elections in France with more than 30% of the vote on June 9.
The statements were supported by Kylian Mbappé, star and team captain, who asked for votes “against the extremes”. Other players, such as Ousmane Dembélé, Antoine Griezmann and Olivier Giroud, limited themselves to asking their compatriots to go to the polls.
