The captain of the XV of France and many players in the rugby world sign this text published Tuesday in the columns of the daily L'Equipe.


“Murdered because he opposed extremist and fascist ideas.

This is how the text which appeared this Tuesday morning in the newspaper L'Equipe begins.

The column published on a page of the sports daily comes a month after the death of former Argentinian rugby player Federico Martin Aramburu, shot dead leaving a bar in Paris where he was with his friend Shaun Hegarty.

A case where the main suspect, Loïk Le Priol, is a far-right activist.

“No, Federico's death is not a news item, a matter of common law as some want to imply.

It is the expression of a state of violence that exists, which we cannot ignore, which we cannot integrate into daily life, continues the platform, quoting the philosopher Emmanuel Mounier.

Federico and Shaun were off the field of play, and as usual, did not allow words to be spoken contrary to their thinking, their education, their philosophy of life.

They didn't turn their heads pretending not to have seen anything but they chose to react, to what was obvious to them.

The text was published with the agreement of the family of the deceased and signed by many personalities from the world of rugby, sometimes close to Federico Martin Aramburu.

Among the signatories, the captain of the XV of France Antoine Dupont, the opening half of the Blues and the Stade Toulouse Romain Ntamack and the tricolor coach Fabien Galthié.

There are also several former and current Argentine internationals, including Stade Français manager Gonzalo Quesada.

Racing 92 sporting director Yannick Nyanga, as well as defense coach Dimitri Szarzewski.

All also support this approach.

"Never again should a human being die in these conditions"

“On March 19, in the early morning, it could have been each of us in Federico's place.

Today, we are still trying to understand the unacceptable, the unthinkable in our life software and in our hearts, ”explains the forum.

"Never again should a human being die in these conditions, never again should a family be bereaved on the grounds of far-right ideology, we will continue to fight for our values, our ideas, we will always fight against those who want to leave bring hatred into our country.

Our differences are our wealth.

We are a Nation, ”concludes the tribune.

Arrested in Hungary after fleeing France, the main suspect Loïk Le Priol is today in detention and indicted for murder.

Romain Bouvier, another far-right activist suspected of having killed the former rugby player, is also imprisoned and indicted for murder.

Lison, the companion of Loïk Le Priol, is also in prison.

Suspected of having led the two men to the scene of the crime, she is indicted for complicity in murder.
