Excerpt from the forum:

” (…) If we are fully aware of the difficulties that many French people are going through, we are convinced that voting for a party that would endanger republican values ​​would be the worst remedy. The sport in which we believe, that of the values ​​of Olympism, is made of friendship and respect; it is the place of diversity. He rejects all discrimination. Everywhere on the territory, in our cities, our suburbs and our countryside, sport is a powerful remedy for exclusion. In these uncertain times, it is a rallying point. This is the case when a whole nation remembers that it is ONE by vibrating in unison behind the exploits of its athletes. It is because we believe in this sport, fraternal and inclusive, that we are committed to preventing our nation from placing at its head a president who embodies the very opposite, the stigmatization of the other, the withdrawal into oneself, nationalism. And that we therefore call for a vote for Emmanuel Macron on April 24.
