The Minister of Economy and Finance has asked Fifa to act while the controversy has not subsided since the victory of the Argentinian


The situation is not getting better.

Five days after Argentina's world title at the expense of the France team, the invectives are still legion.

And it is once again on the other side of the Atlantic that the troublemakers are designated.

After the Minister of Sports, it is this time that of the economy and finance who is stepping up to the plate and demanding accountability.

What a shame !

Here are the racist comments of several Argentinian fans on my Instagram account since I condemned their actions and called on FIFA to take action.


This violence has no place in sport like nowhere else.

For those who are not fluent in Spanish, here is an anthology of responses from Argentine fans: “They (the Blues) play in France but they all come from Angola”;

“Investigate (in the imperative mode) the nationality of your players, clown”;

“Without Africans, how many do you have (players)?

» ;

“I warn you that in your team they are all migrants”, and other kindnesses with racist overtones, already interviewed before the start of the competition.

“What is FIFA doing?

“, wondered angrily Bruno Le Maire this Thursday on the antenna of Sud Radio, in reaction to the multiple provocations, not only on the part of the Argentine players whose goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez made himself the cantor, but also from their unleashed supporters against Didier Deschamps' men.

The silence of the international body can indeed raise questions while the situation has almost become a matter of state.

This Friday, the Minister of Sports, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, pointed to the "pitiful" character and "inelegance" of the Albiceleste players.

In an interview with Ouest-France, the president of the FFF Noël Le Graët indicated for his part that he had written a letter to the Argentine Federation after the mockery and provocations of the world champions against the Blues and in particular Kylian Mbappé.

"This violence has no place in sport like nowhere else," said Bruno Le Maire on Twitter.

The day before, the Minister had already warned that "sport is fair play, it is respect for others, it is respect for those who have lost, we are not going to add insult to disappointment. ".

The Argentinian fans are handling it very well.
