Marlene Le Pen is the new president of France's far-right National Front. In her speech, she strongly advocated the idea of prohibiting French people from having dual citizenship in non-EU countries, and believed that Muslims were terrorists and public enemies of the French people. Her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, participated in the French presidential election as early as 2002 and advocated the idea of resisting immigration.
Le Pen's remarks were resisted by people from all walks of life in France, including Real Madrid coach Zidane. Zidane is a descendant of Algeria, has dual nationality of France and Algeria and is also a Muslim. At the pre-match press conference against Valencia on the 28th local time, he called on the people of China to boycott Le Pen: "Just like in 2002, I am not interested in the National Front and their political stance, and we must try our best to avoid their election."
A considerable number of players in the French national team have dual nationality status, including Matuidi who plays for Paris Saint-Germain and Umtiti who plays for Barcelona. So Le Pen's remarks are aimed at the French national team. As early as 15 years ago, the French national team collectively called on voters to boycott Le Pen, saying that France won the World Cup 1998 and the European Football Championship in 2000 as "the victory of French cultural diversity", "the strength of the French national football team comes from the unity and cooperation of multi-ethnic players, and its success reflects the cultural diversity of French society", "this is a powerful refutation of racial discrimination advocated by the extreme right forces"
