Since the beginning of this Euro, the players of the French team have been regularly questioned about the political context of the country. While some like Kylian Mbappé have called for a blockade of the extremes, others like Marcus Thuram and Jules Koundé have expressed their wish not to see the National Rally in power after these legislative elections caused by the dissolution of the National Assembly. From the height of his position as president of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo has adopted a position of neutrality, given his position, he justifies himself. He will not resign in the event of a victory of the extreme right on June 7.

“I do not place myself in this configuration. I said that in a Federation like mine, I am a defender of the motto of the Republic: liberty, equality and fraternity.explains the leader on RMC this Tuesday evening. I am the bearer of the values ​​conveyed by sport, unity, solidarity. As a citizen, I am also attentive to respect for the rule of law. All of these provisions are, for me, sacred. If these sacred values ​​were to be undermined, it will be up to me to consider how, at the head of the Federation, I should react to it.”
