Madrid. This Wednesday, Félix Bolaños, the Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Cortes, expressed his outrage at the racist chants heard last night during the friendly football match between the national teams of Spain and Egypt, and warned that the far-right will not allow a place free of their hatred. The Mossos d’Esquadra police have begun an investigation due to the Islamophobic and xenophobic chants heard at the RCDE Stadium in Cornellà-El Prat during the match. At different moments during the game, a section of the crowd began chanting “a Muslim who doesn’t jump is”. The racist chants and insults fill us with shame as a society. The far-right will not allow a place free of their hatred, and those who remain silent today will become accomplices. We continue to strive to build a country that is tolerant and respectful to all.
