Antoine Dupont, who is currently playing in the World Cup with the French team of which he is captain, reacted to the cover of the latest issue of the magazine “Valeurs Actuelles”, which uses his image.

He did not speak directly. But his “story” posted online Friday evening is quite clear. On his Instagram account, Antoine Dupont shared a publication by actor Jean Dujardin, who was at the helm of the opening ceremony of the Rugby World Cup a week ago.

“France rugby yes, your values ​​no”

In this publication, the actor displays the front page of the latest issue of the magazine “Valeurs Actuelles”, classified very to the right of the political spectrum. On this front page, the title “France rugby” is displayed in large format, with this caption: “Well-behaved supporters, patriotic players, exemplary values: the recipes of a rooted sport that has become a model for society”.

To illustrate this cover, “Valeurs Actuelles” chose to feature Antoine Dupont alongside Jean Dujardin. On Instagram, the actor therefore took up this front page, writing: “France rugby yes, your values ​​no. No recovery. Thank you.”

A message that Antoine Dupont, who shared this “story”, seems to validate. In April 2022, the scrum half and captain of the Blues joined forces with around fifty French athletes to call on the French to vote in favor of Emmanuel Macron (LREM), in order to block Marine Le Pen (RN) in the second round of the presidential election. Tony Parker, Clarisse Agbégnénou, Dimitri Payet, Romain Bardet, Nikola Karabatic, Frédéric Michalak, Estelle Mossely, Eugénie Le Sommer and Laure Manaudou had also taken a position.
