Paraguay govt

The French Football Federation: Kylian Mbappe and the French Football Association have called Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla "despicable" and "unworthy of a position" for the "abhorrent and odious" racist remarks she made mocking the French forward's origin following the World Cup last-16 clash between the countries.

Celeste, who is from Paraguay's Liberal Radical Party, posted her comments on X after her country's defeat by France in the last 16 of the World Cup.

Responding to the same, Mbappe said, "You are a despicable woman and unworthy of your position. You do not represent Paraguay, that country which has sweated passion and honour throughout the competition."
