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 put our hands in the shit, we'll put them in.' We're 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 the tuxedo, and we understood that well too: that you are so elegant you wear a tuxedo, while we, poor and brutish as we are, don’t even really know what that is. Even so, all of Paraguay stayed silent, including me. We put up with 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 'your mother's cunt,' an extremely aggressive phrase in Latin America, and you know that, that's why you said it."
"And lastly, you snubbed our goalkeeper's greeting. You don't 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 don't do that. In one second you showed your contempt, your arrogance, and your bad manners. It hurt me, it hurt my whole country, and very much so. France should call you out over it, because it is a country of gentlemen, with centuries of history and 'savoir faire.' France should call out your behavior," she wrote, claiming that her posts were made "with my blood boiling."Â
As if this were not incredible enough, she ended the letter by demanding that Mbappé retract calling her "a despicable woman, unworthy of the office I hold," only to then shield herself behind gender violence!
And she threatened: "Retract your words to me, honor your French citizenship and apologize to me, otherwise I may take legal action for gender violence."Â
