The Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, reacted to the comments of former conservative Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who stated that the French national football team does not have "French players". This statement was published in an opinion article on the Spanish online news site El Debate, in the context of Spain preparing to face France in an important match.

Pedro Sánchez emphasized that such comments are inappropriate and can fuel prejudices, especially in the world of sports, where diversity is essential. The Prime Minister's criticism comes at a time when political and social tensions are high, and sports should be a factor of unity, not division.
