00:00Spain is not a racist country.

00:02Spain is an example of coexistence, respect, integration,

00:08an example where a lot of people should look at each other.

00:11A clear example.

00:12Now, that there is always some undesirable, a few undesirable,

00:15of course, that is the improvement we have to make to eradicate them.

00:18But Spain, I insist, is not racist and it is an example where a lot of other countries should look at each other.

00:24Having said that, I also think that everything against Spain, for me, with Morocco and Portugal,

00:30I think it will be a unique event, like everything that organizes Spain and where we are involved.

00:36I'm sure it will also be a success in the future, I'm sure.

00:38Regarding the issue of Vinicius, nothing, just to comment that we, from within,

00:44his teammates, the players, as Mr. Cruz has also said,

00:48we take into account any situation of racism in the stadiums, which is what competes us.

00:55I know what Vini suffers.

00:56In those moments that I have been able to have him close and we support him both internally and publicly.

01:01I think LaLiga is improving, they are developing some protocols against racism

01:05so that those people in Ergúmena who go to the stadiums to insult people because of their skin color

01:10or simply to insult because they cannot return to sports events.

01:14But beyond that small group of people that, I tell you, had to be eradicated in the world of football,

01:20I do not consider that Spain does not deserve to celebrate the World Cup.

01:25Spain is a country with a very high cultural diversity.

01:29I think that there is no doubt that Spain is not at all a racist country.

01:33There are many cultures in our country.

01:36Since I was a child, I have grown up with many nationalities around me.

01:40In my neighborhood, Leganés, I speak for what I have to say.

01:43I will resume that Spain is not at all a racist country.
