A “totally ridiculous” attitude according to the vice-president of the National Rally (RN) Sébastien Chenu, “inappropriate and uncomfortable” for the leader of the socialists Olivier Faure: the opposition criticized Monday Emmanuel Macron comforting Kylian Mbappé following the Cup final world lost to Argentina in Qatar.
“It was a little appalling to see him clinging like a crampon to Mbappé yesterday,” RN deputy Sébastien Chenu launched on Monday on the LCI channel.
“It’s totally indecent, and his place, if he wanted to be useful to France, he should have been in Montreal, where the negotiations on the Cop 15 ended”, judged with AFP the new head of EELV Marine Tondelier. “That’s where he should have been, not in a media operation, in an air-conditioned stadium built on the blood of thousands of workers,” she added.
“The + gênance +”, for her part tweeted the deputy EELV Sandrine Rousseau, targeting the head of state.
“Emmanuel Macron, world champion of embarrassment”, added the ecologist Benjamin Lucas.
“When I see the President coming onto the field, while at the same time we have an important conference on biodiversity, I just say that even if I am an absolute football fan, it’s never just a ball that goes into nets ”, also estimated Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol, candidate for the post of first secretary of the PS and PS mayor of Rouen.
In question, Emmanuel Macron’s attitude towards Kylian Mbappé on the lawn and with the whole team in the locker room following the defeat of the Blues in the World Cup final once morest Argentina.
In a video shared on social networks by the account of the President of the Republic, we see him holding a speech and clapping his fist in the face of the disappointed players of the France team. Alongside the coach of Didier Deschamps, Emmanuel Macron once more said to the team “Thank you”.
“We must not politicize sport”, quipped on Twitter the future head of La France insoumise, Manuel Bompard, mocking the sentence pronounced at the start of the World Cup by Emmanuel Macron himself.
“Finally, the defeat will not have been the hardest moment of the day”, abounded the deputy of rebellious France Thomas Portes.
The first secretary of the PS Olivier Faure, like other deputies on the left, shared on Twitter an article from the magazine So Foot entitled “Macron, out of play all along the line”.
The editorial criticizes the public attitude of the president during the World Cup, in particular the images of Emmanuel Macron trying to console a Kylian Mbappé who “barely seems to listen to him”.
