Missed.
Jordan Bardella, who no doubt wanted to compliment Kylian Mbappé for having decided to stay in Paris rather than go to Madrid, in the end sparked a great controversy after his appearance on France info this Tuesday noon.
Invited to react to the French striker's contract extension at PSG, the president of the RN praised "a model of assimilation, especially for youth from immigration, for suburban youth".

➡️ “No, I say well done Kylian.
His journey is a model of assimilation,” said Jordan Bardella, president of the National Rally.
"It's a strong symbol."

Problem, "he was born in France Kylian Mbappé", pointed out to him the journalist Salhia Brakhlia, forcing Jordan Bardella to clarify his exit.
Without necessarily doing better: "But his mother is Senegalese", replied the elected RN, forgetting in passing that the player's mother was born in Bondy, of parents born in Algeria.
On the side of the father of the Parisian striker, Wilfrid Mbappé was not actually born in France, but in Cameroon.
Mbappé's patriotic fiber
Since then, critical comments have been piling up on social networks, mocking this outing on the "assimilation" of a young man born in Seine-Saint-Denis.
Bad pick, therefore, for Jordan Bardella, who failed to surf on the patriotic fiber deployed by Kylian Mbappé to justify his desire to stay in Paris.
"I didn't say no to Real, I said yes to France and to a new PSG project", explained the player in particular during his press conference on Monday afternoon.

It must be said that the future of crack Bondy has become a national issue.
So much so that the former President of the Republic Nicolas Sarkozy (PSG fan) and the current one (Emmanuel Macron, however, being an OM supporter) were consulted by Kylian Mbappé, and advised him to continue playing in France.
