Argentina’s deputy sports minister fired for telling Lionel Messi to apologise
Argentina deputy sports minister Julio Garro has been fired for telling Lionel Messi to apologise for the controversial song about France’s national team.
After the national team was caught singing it, Garro called for World Cup-winning captain Messi, who is not in the bus, to apologize and say sorry.
Argentina’s president Javier Milei has now sacked Garro just hours after he made the comment on an Argentine radio station called Urbana Play.
On his social media page, the president wrote: “The Office of the President states that no government has the right to tell the Argentine national team, world champions and double Copa America champions, or any other citizen, what to comment, what to think and what to do. That is why Julio Garro ceases to be the under-secretary of sport.”
Although Fernandez apologised for posting the video and engaging in the chant, Chelsea have launched disciplinary proceedings against him. The French Football Federation has complained about this to FIFA and is considering legal action, while Chelsea's Wesley Fofana posted the video on social media.
