Clemente, the first transsexual disputed within Congress, like Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, got upset by a video in which Leo is seen touch with his foot a shirt of the Mexican National Teamwhich led to presenting his surprising proposal.
Although the man from Guadalajara had already expressed his apologies for his reaction, the Morenista deputy took the opportunity to join the questions against the Argentine, arguing contempt for national symbols.
Clement argued that Messi showed “an obvious contempt for the colors that allude to (…) our national flag” (national flag), in accordance with its proposed point of agreement disseminated by the Chamber of Deputies, something that the argentinian had ruled out at all.
Canelo apologized
Canelo, who got hooked on the video considering that it had disrespected Mexico, retracted days after his threats to Messi and for that reason He offered an apology to settle the controversy once and for all.
