The Government of the Republic of Paraguay, through the social media account of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 'deplores and rejects' the statement of Senator Celeste Amarilla directed at French footballer Kylian Mbappe.
'They are contrary to the values and principles that inspire peaceful coexistence and respect human dignity, which our country promotes,' the statement read. 'The statements made by (Amarilla) are solely the exercise of her individual responsibility as a member of the Legislative Branch and do not in any way represent the position of the Government of the Republic of Paraguay or the Paraguayan people.'
