Macron now had announced that if France reached the semifinal they would attend the semifinal and to the final in case they qualify. This commitment had generated controversy over the living conditions of migrant workers, the impact on the environment of air-conditioned stadiums and the situation of women and minorities in Qatar.
However, the President requested “do not politicize” the sport, and added that these types of issues must be raised when the organization of an event is attributed. Several opposition voices expressed their rejection of the trip.
“I think you’re wrong. one can respect the enthusiasm of the population (for the team), but it is not the same to give political support (to Qatar) by going there“, declared Manuel Bompard, future coordinator of the formation of radical left France Insumisa (LFI), to the radio France inter.
For his part, the MEP and former environmental candidate for the presidential elections Yannick Jadot reiterated his call for a “political boycott of the World Cup”.
