"This brute hasn't even learned to write. Instead of breastmilk, he grew up sucking on coconuts, and the most educated creatures he ever heard were chimpanzees,” Amarilla said.
The French Football Federation (FFF) has announced plans to initiate legal proceedings against Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla after she launched a racist tirade against France captain Kylian Mbappé, describing him as a "chimpanzee," a "colonized Cameroonian pretending to be French," and calling for Paraguay's players to slap him following their World Cup defeat to France.
The remarks triggered widespread outrage, with Mbappé condemning the senator as "despicable" and unfit for public office, while the FFF described her comments as "criminal and reprehensible" and confirmed it would file a report with prosecutors.
The storm of controversy erupted after Amarilla made a series of inflammatory and racist remarks targeting Mbappé following Paraguay's World Cup clash with France, prompting a furious response from the football star and legal action by the French Football Federation (FFF).
Amarilla launched a personal attack on Mbappé in comments that have since sparked widespread condemnation.
