🔥 Beware the Paraguayans: senator Amarilla threatens Mbappé again | OneFootball

The verbal clash between Paraguay’s political sphere and international football has added a new chapter. Opposition senator Celeste Amarilla has formally stood by her previous statements about French footballer Kylian Mbappé, maintaining a firm stance and ruling out any kind of legal or public retraction.

In her most recent remarks, the lawmaker directly urged the French national team striker to review a letter sent in several languages. "Let him read my letter. I wrote to him in French and in Spanish. Let him read my letter, if he knows how to read," the parliamentarian said, sending a forceful message to the player’s camp by warning that he should "watch out for Paraguayans."

To underscore the firmness of her warning, the parliamentarian explicitly referred to the country’s judicial record, recalling the detention of former Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho. "Don’t mess with Paraguayans, Mbappé. We already put Ronaldinho in jail here for being a little crook. And don’t underestimate me," she said bluntly.

Likewise, the political representative did not rule out taking the judicial route and raised the possibility of filing direct legal action against the athlete. Amarilla suggested that such a lawsuit could succeed in court, stating verbatim: "I can sue you, hire a lawyer, and they’ll tell you that I actually can beat you. Gender-based violence."

Criticism of Conmebol and Alejandro Domínguez

The senator’s statement also included harsh criticism of the management of football’s governing bodies, directly pointing to FIFA and the president of Conmebol, Alejandro Domínguez, whom she accused of playing a "subservient role." In her view, there is a "perverse plan to meddle in politics" on the part of sports leadership.

Finally, the senator extended her complaints to local and regional football leadership, addressing the top authorities of Conmebol and the Paraguayan Football Association directly. "I want to say to Alejandro Domínguez and Robert Harrison: take care of your players. Defend your players," she said, linking the federations’ earnings to alleged ambitions for the national elections.
