Boycott of a football match of deputies: Marine Le Pen castigates "a contest of ridicule"

Marine Le Pen was playing on velvet, after the boycott by leftist and Renaissance deputies of a charity match of the Assembly football team, due to the participation of deputies from the National Rally.

“It's a ridiculous contest whose first victims are children.

That says a lot about these people.

In reality, it is hatred all the time, everywhere, the fight all the time, ” castigated this Wednesday on RTL the president of the RN group in the National Assembly.

"They go against one of the great values ​​of sport, which is that sport, precisely, is the place where you don't do politics," she added, convinced that groups calling not to participate in this match will be "judged harshly by the French" and "looked like pignoufs" in other European parliaments.

And to recall that “for fifteen years Louis Aliot played in the parliamentary XV alongside Alexis Corbière, who will surely be dragged before a Soviet court by his own friends.

They are advancing in stupidity, ”she said of rebellious France, also criticizing the “follow-up” of the Renaissance.

As Le Parisien had announced on Tuesday, the presidents of the PS groups, Boris Vallaud, and LFI, Mathilde Panot, confirmed that their deputies would not participate in the charity meeting which was to oppose the football team of the National Assembly and a selection of former internationals (Sonny Anderson, Christian Karembeu, etc.) for the benefit of the fight against cyberbullying affecting children.

The left refuses that the RN continues its enterprise of "trivialization" there.

The patroness of the Renaissance deputies Aurore Bergé also recommended to her troops “not to participate in a match which will give rise to a + team photo +”: gold “we do not play in the same team.

Neither far right nor far left.

If the RN sits in numbers in the Assembly, "that does not mean that we must participate in their desire to normalize", urged government spokesman Olivier Véran on CNews.

The former Minister of Health nevertheless recognized an “ambivalence”: “By telling you that I would not play this evening if I were a deputy, I am participating in the phenomenon which consists in raising the feeling that they are ostracized , that they are victims of the system”, he developed.

“I know it's sport” but “we're not friends, the far right remains the far right”.

Asked about Sud Radio, the Minister of Solidarity Jean-Christophe Combe also regretted this boycott which "makes the 89 deputies of the RN rather sympathetic today".

"I don't play football but I think it's not the right way to fight the ideas of the RN", it's "a bad example, a bad fight to lead", he continued.

“Dismaying this story of the Assembly's football team!

I have been a member for a long time and we have always overcome political differences on the ground, we must continue like this.

Politicizing everything poorly is unbearable, ”insisted Éric Woerth MP Renaissance, in a tweet.
