German interior minister condemns Turkish defender for using Euro 2024 as ‘platform for racism’ as UEFA opens investigation
CNNJUN 2024
Demiral must be punished for celebrating his goal by making a gesture linked to the ultranationalist Gray Wolves, as the EURO is no place to promote fascism, racism, and violence. After all, given the importance of the game and its audience, his actions were far worse than those of Daku.
Those performing the "wolf salute" don't necessarily support the political ideology. It's outrageous that UEFA has decided to side with countries hostile to the Turkish people and Turkey itself, putting Demiral under investigation for a gesture that simply expresses his Turkish identity.
