🇵🇾 Paraguay’s government condemns racism against Mbappé | OneFootball

The government of Paraguay issued a statement condemning the racist remarks made by Senator Celeste Amarilla against Kylian Mbappé. 

The Government of the Republic of Paraguay deplores and rejects the statements made by Senator Celeste Amarilla, directed at the captain of France’s national team, Kylian Mbappé, which are contrary to the values and principles that inspire peaceful coexistence and respect for human dignity that our country promotes.

Paraguay is a democratic republic governed by the principle of separation and independence of the branches of government and, in this context, the statements made by the aforementioned lawmaker correspond exclusively to the exercise of her individual responsibility as a member of the Legislative Branch and in no way represent the position of the Government of the Republic of Paraguay or of the Paraguayan people.

The reaction comes after the French forward responded on social media this Monday, saying: “You are a despicable woman and unworthy of your office.”
