A major scandal appears to be brewing.
Details: After the World Cup match between France and Paraguay, Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla delivered a harsh tirade against Kylian Mbappé.
In her speech, she used offensive and derogatory language, targeting the French striker’s origins and appearance, and claimed that the French national team won “only thanks to luck.”
“Mbappé? That savage never even learned to write. Instead of drinking his mother’s milk, he sucked coconuts, and the most educated beings he ever heard were chimpanzees. A Cameroonian from a former colony who pretends to be French – vindictive, arrogant, and ugly. He was nervous and utterly terrified throughout the match, just like his whole team. They only won because of luck. The only thing you could blame Paraguay for is that no one slapped him at the end of the match.” — Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla
The politician’s remarks sparked widespread public outrage and criticism due to the racist and offensive nature of her statements. As of publication, neither Kylian Mbappé nor representatives from the French Football Federation have publicly commented on the senator’s words.
