The racism chapter involving Senator Celeste Amarillo seems far from over, because after the Paraguayan government condemned her racist messages against Kylian MbappĂ©, she struck again and is now demanding an apology from the French player.Â
Through a document titled "Letter to Mbappé," the official gives her account of what she says happened in the Round of 16 match and explained:
"What made me very angry was your arrogance and contempt even before the match. You said: 'if we have to get our hands dirty in the shit, weâll do it.' We are not stupid; we understood perfectly that the 'shit' was the Paraguayan team, and the Paraguayan team is all of us. Then you said you were going to take off your tuxedo. We understood that too: that you are so elegant that you wear tuxedos, while we, poor and crude as we are, donât even really know what that is. Even so, all of Paraguay stayed silent, myself included. We endured it."
"During the match you behaved arrogantly; your contempt for every player was obvious, as if they disgusted you, and without even covering your mouth, you said 'la concha de tu madre,' an extremely aggressive phrase in Latin America, and you know that, which is why you said it."
"And lastly, you rejected our goalkeeperâs greeting. You donât do that. The greeting between rivals after a contest is almost sacred, in war and in peace, in defeat and in victory, and you refused to shake his hand and shouted your victory in his face. You donât do that. In one second, you showed your contempt, your arrogance, and your bad manners. It hurt me, it hurt my whole country, and deeply. France should call you out for it, because it is a country of gentlemen, with centuries of history and 'savoir faire.' France should condemn your behavior," she wrote, claiming that her posts were made "with my blood boiling."Â
As if this were not unbelievable enough, she ended the letter by demanding that Mbappé retract his statement calling her "a despicable woman, unworthy of the office I hold," only to then hide behind gender-based violence!
And she threatened: "Retract that statement about me, honor your French citizenship and apologize to me, otherwise I may initiate legal action for gender-based violence."Â
