Qatar 2022: they ask that the Spanish National Team play with a gay pride shirt

LGBTI flag.

The idea would be an attack against Qatar’s ban on displaying the LGTBI flag in the country.

In Spain, the spokesman for the left-wing More Country party, Íñigo Errejón, asks that the country’s soccer team wear the colors of the LGTBI flag in the Qatar 2022 World Cup in protest against the law of the Arab country that punishes with jail anyone who displays LGTBI+ flags during sports competition.

Will Spain carry the LGTBI flag on its shirt?

“This is an offense to the countries in which those freedoms are in force”Errejón, a former member of the Podemos party, has denounced at a press conference in Congress coinciding with today’s celebration of LGTBI Pride Day.

“The spokesman for the Qatar World Cup says that anyone who wears a rainbow flag will be arrested. This is a shame and an offense for the countries in which freedoms are in force,” said the leftist politician from the outset.

“In addition to the moral condemnation, I would like the Spanish National Team to be an example. I would like the team to wear, albeit symbolically, the colors of the rainbow in the first game, showing that freedom is defended in Spain, we are proud of freedom and we do not bow to the fanaticism of any religious dictatorship“, he added.

The spokesman for the Qatar World Cup says that the rainbow flag is illegal in his country. The Spanish team should give an example of freedom and show it off in the first match 🏳️‍🌈 pic.twitter.com/f1sSHH5ux9
