"For Marine Le Pen, the Black, White, Beur myth has fizzled out": 220 French sports leaders call to block the RN

After the call, at the beginning of the week, of around fifty athletes of today and yesterday to block Marine Le Pen, the world of sport continues to mobilize for the presidential election.

220 leaders of federations, elected officials, managers and volunteers of associations have signed a forum published by L'Equipe in which they position themselves against the National Rally for the 2nd round on Sunday 24 April.

OL president Jean-Michel Aulas, former judoka and minister David Douillet and even the director general of the 2023 Rugby World Cup Claude Atcher are calling for Emmanuel Macron to vote.

Here is their forum:

"We, presidents of federations, leaders and volunteers of associations, elected officials in charge of sports, managers and employees of sports structures or simple actors involved in the world of sport, we are mobilizing against the election of Marine Le Pen and the arrival of the extreme right at the head of the country.

His rare positions on sport reveal a nationalist and stigmatizing vision contrary to the values ​​on which our sporting commitment is based.

In the Rassemblement National project, the measures for sport focus only on the clubs “which

”.

Federations and sports clubs are warned, the public authorities "

".

For Marine Le Pen, "the '

' myth stemming from the victory of the French team in 1998 has fizzled out".

Committed players in the world of sport, we are proud when sport is at the service of the fight against racism;

when athletes commit to fraternity, equality between women and men or when they fight against homophobia and all forms of violence.

We are proud when sport demonstrates that it is a powerful vehicle for inclusion in our neighborhoods and our countryside;

when it serves as a social elevator for young people from diverse backgrounds.

We are proud when sport is the flag bearer of republican values.

Our country is preparing to host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This event represents a historic opportunity to finally give sport the place it deserves: making sport a pillar for young people, from early childhood to university. ;

make it really accessible to everyone, everywhere on the territory, at all ages and whatever the chances left by existence;

use it even more in health policies;

support a European project to preserve our sporting model, our clubs and our championships;

make sport a powerful driver of social inclusion and economic development.

This is why we call, on a personal basis and beyond the diversity of convictions that we were able to express in the first round, to block the far right by voting for Emmanuel Macron on April 24.
