en.malanginspirasi.com – France soccer national team forward Kylian Mbappé has fiercely condemned Paraguayan Senator Celeste Amarilla, labeling her “despicable” and unfit for office.
He mentioned the statement after she posted racist comments mocking his heritage and education on X.
The remarks followed Paraguay’s Round of 16 defeat to France at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Mbappé fired back publicly, stating that Amarilla’s “brazen racism” overshadowed her own team’s historic tournament run.
“You do not represent Paraguay,” Mbappé said, adding that he would never allow people like her “the freedom to spread their hatred.”

The French Football Federation (FFF) announced it is filing criminal charges, calling the senator’s comments “utterly abhorrent and unacceptable.”
French President Emmanuel Macron also voiced his solidarity, tweeting, “Another goal for Kylian Mbappé. Against racism this time.”
The Paraguayan government quickly distanced itself from the controversy, stating it “deplores and rejects” the senator’s remarks.
This incident follows prior tension before the match, during which former Paraguay goalkeeper José Luis Chilavert referred to France as a “squad from Africa”.
\FFF President Philippe Diallo called the comment as a “disgrace.”
On the pitch, Mbappé’s second-half penalty secured France’s spot in the quarter-finals against Morocco.
He currently sits as the tournament’s joint top-scorer with seven goals, alongside Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland.
