Former Spanish PM Mariano Rajoy faces racism accusations after saying French World Cup team has 'no French players'.
Mariano Rajoy, Spain's former prime minister, wrote in a World Cup column that the French national team 'doesn't have any French players' ahead of Spain's semi-final match against France. Current Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez condemned the remarks as xenophobic, and multiple French politicians including Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez and party leaders Olivier Faure and Fabien Roussel criticized the comments as racist. The remarks drew comparisons to a recent racist attack on Kylian Mbappé by Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla.
