Defender speaks out against Le Pen’s National RallyDeschamps hails ‘intelligent’ win over Belgium
Jules Koundé said he was disappointed after French general elections returned a first-round victory for the far right and the France full-back encouraged those who have not yet voted to make it out for the second round, describing the policies of Marine Le Pen’s party as “against our values”.
The National Rally won 33% of the vote in the first round, with the left-wing New Popular Front (NFP) alliance on 28% and president Emmanuel Macron’s centrist Together bloc on 21%.
