Demonstration in front of the Spanish Consulate in Sao Paulo in favor of Vinícius

Words by Lula da Silva

This act has occurred after the President of Brazil, Lula da Silva, commented on the matter by sending a few words of support to the Real Madrid player: “I would like to start with a gesture of solidarity with a Brazilian player, that boy who is possibly becoming one of the best players in the world, without a doubt the best of Real Madrid”.

Lula continued warning that “they insult him in all the stadiums he goes to. I think it is important that FIFA, the Spanish League, the leagues of other countries take action, because We cannot allow fascism and racism to settle within the stadiums of soccer”. “He was called ‘monkey,’” the president pointed out. “It is not possible, in the 21st century, to have such a strong racial prejudice in so many football stadiums. It is unfair that a poor boy who has done so well in life is insulted in every stadium in which he plays ”, he concluded.

The denunciation of Vinicius

Vinícius, tired of receiving these insults, had been the first to denounce racism in Spanish football and in Spain: “”It was not the first time, nor the second nor the third. He racism It is normal in the League. The competition thinks it’s normal, so the Federation and the opponents cheer him on. Very sorry. The championship that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano and Messi, today belongs to racists. A beautiful nation that welcomed me and I love it, but agreed to export the image to the world from a racist country. Sorry for the Spanish who do not agree, but today in Brazil, Spain is known as a country of racists. And unfortunately with everything that happens weekly, I have no way to defend it. I agree. But I am strong and I will go all the way against racists. Even though I’m far from here”
