Ignoring the verdict of the referendum ‘Hitler’ Messi! The British government wanted an investigation against Argentina
Hitler’s behavior on the field after winning the match! Argentina gave a political message on the stage of the World Cup. Many diplomats think the game is lost. But what Lionel Messi did after winning the match is tantamount to extolling the power of a dictator in disregard of public opinion. The British government has already demanded an investigation into the whole incident.
The Falkland Islands are once again at the center of controversy. Argentina beat England in a tight match in the World Cup semi-final on Wednesday. After that match, an unexpected picture was seen on the field. Footballers from both sides got involved in the dispute. is tangled. In the midst of that, Le Celsora took to the field with a banner evoking the memories of the Falkland War. The banner read, “’Las Malvinas Son Argentinas.’ That is, ‘Malvinas is ours.’ Falkland Islands are called Malvinas in Argentina. The same poster can be seen in the gallery during the match. Even during the match, Argentina fans chanted that slogan.
It should be noted that the Falkland Islands, located about 500-600 km from the coast of Argentina, is a self-governing area, but it has been under the control of Britain since 1833. However, Argentina has long claimed that the islands are part of its territory. Argentine dictator Leopold Galtieri declared war in 1982 claiming ‘ownership’ of the Falklands. Britain also sent troops. Because the Falkland people said in the referendum that they want to remain under British control. Despite this, Argentina has been claiming the Falklands as their own for many times.
England strongly opposed the way Messi came to the field with posters claiming ‘ownership’ of the Falkland Islands. Trade Secretary Peter Kyle said this behavior was completely inappropriate. FIFA should conduct a proper investigation. In the past, South Korean star Park Jung Woo was sentenced to exile for such political messages. Will Messi be punished this time? Or that punishment will be effective after the World Cup?
