(ANSA) – ROME, AUGUST 5 – “Imane Khelif is not Frankenstein, we owe respect to a woman and an athlete. Rather, what happened at the Olympics should make us reflect and intervene in the world of sport that has fallen behind”. This was said by FI MP and vice-president of the Chamber of Deputies Giorgio Mulè, interviewed by Repubblica regarding the story of the Algerian boxer who defeated the Italian Angela Carini.
“The rush to take sides is wrong. Meloni didn’t say anything incorrect. In this circumstance ignorance came out, transgender was confused with intersexuality and none of us are familiar with intersexuality”, added the representative of the blue party, according to whom “Khelif didn’t cheat, she’s someone who follows the rules and has a chromosome that didn’t depend on wanting to distort the rules of the game”.
For Mulè “the race to side with the Italian has a thousand sporting reasons and perhaps this story can convince everyone to think about the world of sport, which is behind. We need to govern events and changes”.
And he launches a proposal: “We can think about a commission or a group of experts appointed by Parliament, anything as long as they are not divisive laws. I propose a sort of code of rights that gives recognition to anyone who lives a different sexuality or is forced by nature to guard against prejudice”. (ANSA).
