Amarilla keeps stoking the flames after Paraguay's match against France.
Details: According to ABC, Celeste Amarilla, a senator in Paraguay's National Congress, commented on her controversial remarks directed at France's forward Kylian Mbappé. The politician emphasized that she does not want to reduce France to the persona of its star striker and reminded the public of the country's rich cultural and democratic heritage—Rousseau, Descartes, Montesquieu, Victor Hugo, Simone de Beauvoir, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
At the same time, Amarilla took full responsibility for her words:
"When Orlando Gil—a young man who probably made his World Cup debut, set foot in Europe for the first time, played in front of the entire world and extended his hand with all the humility of Paraguay—and that son of a bitch refused to shake it and shouted in his face—that's not French behavior. A Frenchman would never act like that.
I'm deconstructing the 'wrong' Celeste. I'm breaking the mold I was taught—and which, in light of modern values, I almost hate today. I grew up in a time when saying 'f*cking n*gger' or 'f*cking fatso' was considered normal. It was an era of low tolerance."
