Leo Messi play with Argentina this afternoon before Netherlands in the quarterfinals of Qatar World Cup (20 hours). All the attention is focused on the former Barcelona player, leader of an ‘albiceleste’ team that dreams of this title. But not only in sports the striker monopolizes the covers these days. The ‘flea’ has been harshly criticized for a gesture he had in the locker room after eliminating Mexico.
The former Barça player, today at PSG, gave a light kick to a Mexico team shirt (Andrés Guardado’s) that was lying on the ground, as if pushing it away. And that generated the consequent controversy and criticism, among others that of the boxer Canelo Álvarez. But his subsequent clarifications were of no use..
The fact is that in Mexico -according to the English ‘Mirror’- they want to declare him ‘persona non grata’ for a gesture that they consider total contempt. Influential politician and transgender activist María Clemente García Moreno filed a motion to officially condemn Messi.
The document says the following: “The Chamber of Deputies of the Honorable Congress of the Union respectfully urges the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to issue the corresponding Declaration in order to declare the Argentine citizen and Spanish national, Lionel Andrés Messi Cuccitini, persona non grata within the territory of the United Mexican States. , for his manifest contempt and lack of respect towards Mexico during the World Cup of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) on Saturday, November 26, 202two”.
