FIFA President Gianni Infantino attacked European countries and Western media on the sidelines of his speech at a press conference held before the start of the 2022 World Cup, and Infantino said: Europeans should apologize to people before giving lessons. People with disabilities and all minorities, if Europe cared about people who travel to Europe illegally, it would provide legal channels that allow them to travel to Europe, let them dream, but this latter attitude betrays hypocrisy.
Infantino criticized the Western media for turning a blind eye to obvious facts, explaining that the abolition of the kafala system in Qatar and wage increases are a good thing, and international unions praise this, but the media turn a blind eye to this, being in difficult conditions in Qatar compared to the conditions in which immigrants live in Europe is very large, why European countries do not facilitate these issues, also Switzerland has become a role model thanks to tolerance and teamwork. I believe that Qatar has developed a lot in this area, and I am proud of everyone who have worked hard to make this global football event a success.
The President of the International Federation continued, the laws regarding the rights of workers are similar to those in European countries, and we must give the Qataris the opportunity to raise wages to the level of Europe.
Infantino said he received several messages saying: “I was told that workers can’t communicate their views. I have spoken to the government of Qatar and Workers International and I am very happy that there is a permanent headquarters of Workers International.” . in Qatar, which means that all workers can apply to this organization. FIFA has no authority over the State of Qatar, but FIFA can advise countries and we are present.
With regard to the ban on alcoholic beverages, I first of all confirm that every decision in the World Cup is taken in partnership between FIFA and Qatar, and no decision was taken alone. beverages.
I believe that if a person stops drinking these drinks for 3 hours, he will not die, and in some European countries the sale of alcoholic beverages inside stadiums is prohibited, so why double standards?!
