Iri tegeko ni ryo Umuyobozi w’Ishyaka Liberal Democrat, Ed Davey, yashingiyeho asaba FIFA guhagarika abakinnyi bose ba Argentine bagaragaye bafashe iki gitambaro.
Davey yibukije FIFA ko muri Kanama 2024, Rodri na Álvaro Morata bo muri Espagne bahanishijwe kudakina umukino umwe mu marushanwa ategurwa n’Ishyirahamwe ry’Umupira w’Amaguru i Burayi (UEFA), bazira kuririmba bati “Gibraltar ni iya Espagne.”
Yagize ati: “Itegeko ngengamyitwarire rirasobanutse cyane mu bijyanye n’ubushotoranyi bukorerwa mu kibuga. Aba bakinnyi bagomba kubuzwa gukina umukino wa nyuma ku Cyumweru. Ntabwo ruhago ikwiye kugirwa igikoresho cy’ubushotoranyi.”
Ibiro bya Minisitiri w’Intebe w’u Bwongereza, Keir Starmer, byabajijwe uko yakiriye imyitwarire y’abakinnyi ba Argentine, bisubiza ko nubwo igihugu cyabo cyasezerewe muri iri rushanwa, ibyo bidakuraho ko ibi birwa ari iby’u Bwongereza.
Umuvugizi wa Starmer yatangaje ko uyu muyobozi ashyigikiye ko FIFA ikora iperereza ryimbitse ku myitwarire y’aba bakinnyi, kuko umupira w’amaguru ugomba gutandukanywa na politiki.
Visi Perezida wa Argentine, Victoria Villarruel, yashyigikiye abakinnyi bagaragaye bafite iki gitambaro, agaragaza ko nubwo habaho kugerageza kubacecekesha, ukuri k’uko ibirwa bya Falkland ari iby’Argentine kutazasibangana.
Villarruel yagize ati: “Ibirwa bya Falkland ni ibya Argentine! Bagerageza kuducecekesha muri sitade, ariko bibagirwa ko uku kuri tugutwara mu maraso no mu mitima yacu.”
Mu gihe u Bwongereza bukomeje gushyira igitutu kuri FIFA, biravugwa ko iri shyirahamwe riri gutekereza gukora iperereza ku bakinnyi ba Argentine, kandi ko bashobora guhanwa.
