Mbappe says 'urgent' need to vote after 'catastrophic' French results

HAMBURG, July 4, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - France captain Kylian Mbappe said Thursday it was "really urgent" to vote in the second round of legislative elections in the country after the far-right National Rally emerged as the biggest party in last weekend's first round.

"It is really urgent. We have seen the results. They are catastrophic," Mbappe said at a press conference in Hamburg ahead of France's Euro 2024 quarter-final against Portugal on Friday. The second round of voting takes place on Sunday.
