But Csaba Asztalos says we shouldn’t “put the handkerchief on the tambourine, but it must not be crucified either”
The racist scandal unleashed by the PSG-Başakşehir party was extensively discussed by international press. The match will resume today, at 19:55, in minute 14, with a another brigade of referees. The game can be seen on Digi Sport 3 and on digisport.ro.
But it is possible that the person who said “That black. That is not possible“Not Sebastian Colţescu, but Octavian Şovre.
The reaction of the president of the National Council for the Fight against Discrimination in the case of Sebastian Colţescu
“Coltescu was wrong, but the kerchief should not be put on the tambourine, nor should it be crucified. We need to learn from this incident. Such problems exist and must be taken seriously. I don’t think it was a deliberate mistake, I don’t think it was intentional, I really don’t think he knows this.
So he doesn’t know these aspects. And he made another mistake, that I know of, the official language of a match for referees is English and he had to stay in English. Why? Because he not only spoke with the central referee, he is in the presence of everyone, he is in public. We need more knowledge, umpires should certainly be trained in this“, declarant Csaba Asztalos.
Csaba Asztalos considers it to be a racist incident
“From my point of view it is a racist incident. The name used by the referee is racist, we cannot accept that argument that in Romanian it would not have racist connotations. Why? Because even if Romanian society had no experience Direct history with slavery, with racial discrimination and for many Romanian citizens the clear racist content of the black name is not obvious, this does not mean that it is not racist.
We have had a racist experience of discrimination against Roma during slavery, and these explanations do not stand up to arbitrariness. For the target person, who is part of that category of people, the black denomination has another experience. It has been and is the strongest form of racial stigma and labeling. And those people have a memory of slavery and discrimination, “said Csaba Asztalos.
The president of the CNCD does not understand how a referee can make such a mistake at such a high level: “What is incomprehensible is how a referee of such a level does not know this aspect in the conditions in which FIFA, UEFA and FRF for years I have a strong campaign against racism.
CNCD President: “I believe in the good faith of the referee. But that does not excuse him”
Especially when we have a campaign to support the fight against player racism. You see that he kneels before the parties and others. So it doesn’t matter if the referee wanted to discriminate or not. I believe in good faith in the referee. I think it was a form of ignorance, but that doesn’t excuse it. “
He told the CNCD president that there are many cases of racism in Romanian football, which he wanted to mention.
“Another aspect to which I want to express my concern is that many opinion formers in their reactions deny the existence of racism in Romanian football and say that we do not have that problem.
I recommend that you read the interview granted by Eric de Oliveira a month ago in which he speaks clearly about racism, to see that in Iaşi in a League match animal sounds were imitated, the case of Wellington from Concordia, Nicuşor Bancu from en the University of Craiova this year, the racist chants against the Roma in the Rapid case and the elements that were against the Hungarians. Make a statistic and see how many penalties the FRF has taken in recent years for discrimination or how many times the team has played without spectators, “added Csaba Asztalos.
