"This is a blatant provocation and an expression of cultural imperialism," he said on M5.
András Schiffer said in M5's Ez itt a qímál program that seven European countries have done "completely below the level" of the World Cup in Qatar and rainbow armbands in the past period. The lawyer pointed out, moreover, these countries formulated the cynical position that none of this would be a political expression of opinion. "So what is cottage cheese?" - asked Schiffer, who explained: the issue of human rights, since we only talk about politics, is considered the most eminently political issue.

"Now they say their rainbow antics aren't politics - so what?" , asked the question of the former Member of Parliament.

He reminded: the framework accepted by the footballers and the national associations delegating them excludes the possibility of the players expressing a political opinion in the stadium, in the context of an international match.

Schiffer also emphasized that FIFA - correctly - takes action against homophobic slurs and expressions, just as it does not allow players to be discriminated against based on their sexual orientation. "From now on, what the heck should be demonstrated?

This is an open provocation and an expression of cultural imperialism ," he added.
