The Paraguayan government condemns racist remarks targeting Kylian Mbappé

The government of the Republic of Paraguay has issued a statement condemning remarks made by Senator Celeste Amarilla against the captain of the French national team, Kylian Mbappé. Paraguayan authorities consider these comments to be contrary to the values of respect, human dignity, and peaceful coexistence upheld by the country.

In its statement, the Paraguayan executive clarified that the parliamentarian’s comments are solely her individual responsibility as a member of the legislative branch and in no way represent the official position of the government or the Paraguayan people.

A firm condemnation of all forms of discrimination

The government reiterates that Paraguay is a democratic republic based on the separation and independence of powers. It also emphasizes its commitment to human rights, equality, and mutual respect.

Paraguayan authorities reaffirm their opposition to racism, xenophobia, intolerance, and all forms of hatred or discrimination.

Solidarity with those affected and respect for France

In its statement, the government expresses solidarity with all those who may have been affected by these remarks, and reaffirms its commitment to the longstanding friendship and cooperation between Paraguay and France.

This stance aims to dissociate the country’s image from the individual statements of the senator and to underscore the importance of respect in public discourse, especially when it involves international figures like Kylian Mbappé.
