The Paraguayan government said it “deplores and rejects the statements” made by senator Celeste Amarilla.

What happened

The remark appears to refer to the backlash after Amarilla made racist comments about Kylian Mbappé following France’s victory over Paraguay.

In context

Reports say Paraguay’s officials distanced themselves from her comments, while Mbappé publicly condemned them as racist and “despicable.”
