"I will not apologize to him." - Paraguayan politician Celeste Amarilla refuses to apologize to Mbappé

Paraguayan politician Celeste Amarilla has commented on the scandal that erupted after her offensive remarks directed at France striker Kylian Mbappé.

Details: In a recent interview, Amarilla admitted that her post was indeed racist, which prompted her to delete it. However, the politician stressed that she does not intend to apologize, stating she said "what needed to be said."

"YES, my post against Kylian Mbappé was racist. That's exactly why I deleted it, and it was regrettable.

However, I WILL NOT apologize — I said what I needed to say.

I grew up in a society where gay people were beaten, and calling someone a 'shitty nigger' was the most ordinary thing.

I am from that generation, and now I am trying to become a different Celeste Amarilla — someone who is able to coexist with others.

Be patient, I'm trying." Amarilla stated.

Despite her attempt to explain her words, the politician's statement has already sparked a new wave of criticism, as she openly admitted to the racist nature of her remarks yet refused to apologize to the French footballer.
