Argentine Undersecretary of Sports Julio Garro was fired this Wednesday<\/strong>after declaring that the Albiceleste should apologize for theRacist and homophobic chants against the French national team<\/strong> during the celebration for the conquest of the Copa America over Colombia.<\/p>\n

“The President’s Office informs that no government can tell the Argentine National Team, World Champion and Two-time Champion of America, or any other citizen, what to comment, what to think or what to do. For this reason, Julio Garro is no longer the Undersecretary of Sports of the Nation,” the President’s Office reported in a statement posted on its X account.<\/p>\n

Release<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The number two of the Secretariat of Environment, Tourism and Sports, led by Daniel Scioli, questioned the selection’s chants during an interview.<\/p>\n

“I think the captain of the national team (Lionel Messi) should come out and apologize.<\/strong>the same as the president of the AFA (Claudio Tapia). It is something that leaves us in a bad position as a country after so much glory,” said Garro on the radio station Urbana Play.<\/p>\n

However, hours after his statements, the former mayor of La Plata (province of Buenos Aires) expressed on his X account that His words were not directed against Messi<\/strong>captain of the Argentina national team since 2011.<\/p>\n

“I categorically deny that I have asked Messi to apologize. It would be disrespectful to someone who constantly honors us with his human and sporting qualities,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

Later, Argentina’s vice president, Victoria Villarruel, defended Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez in X<\/strong>the footballer who is in the spotlight, and called the European country “colonialist” and “hypocritical” for showing its indignation.<\/p>\n

“No colonialist country is going to intimidate us with a song from the stadium or for telling the truths that they don’t want to admit. Enough of pretending to be indignant, hypocrites. Enzo, I support you, Messi, thank you for everything! Argentines always with their heads held high! Long live Argentinity!” declared the politician from La Libertad Avanza (far right) on her X profile.<\/p>\n

No colonialist country is going to intimidate us with a song from the field or by telling the truths that they do not want to admit.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The controversy revolves around a live broadcast on the Chelsea midfielder’s Instagram profile, in which a song can be heard sung by several members of the team mocking the African origins of several French footballers, with striker Kylian Mbapp at the helm<\/strong>who was also called “puto” (a derogatory word for “homosexual”).<\/p>\n

Given the magnitude of the video, the former River Plate player apologized for an attitude for which “there is absolutely no excuse.”<\/p>\n

In addition, The French Football Federation (FFF) will file a complaint<\/strong> for “racial and discriminatory insults” after complaining to the International Football Federation (FIFA) and the Argentine Football Association (AFA) about the video in which Argentine footballers mock the French.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
