African diplomats demanded a public apology, insisting that a private apology was not enough.
The Romanian Ambassador to Kenya, Dragos Tigau, compared Africans to monkeys, thus causing a diplomatic scandal. About this on Saturday, June 10 writes the BBC.
According to journalists, the incident took place at the UN building in Nairobi, Kenya, on April 26. While there, Dragos Tigau, who saw a monkey outside the window, said: “The African group joined us. “
The incident came to light on June 8, when the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Kenya Kamau Machariya told the general public. He said he was “shocked and angry” by the incident.
African diplomats then demanded a public apology from the Romanian Foreign Ministry, insisting that a private apology was not enough. On the same day, Romania announced that it was aware of the incident and had begun the process of recalling its ambassador.
“We deeply regret and ask for forgiveness from all those affected. Any behavior or comments of a racist nature are completely unacceptable,” the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
It was previously reported that Orban caused a scandal by speaking out against “race mixing”. He said that European races should not be mixed with non-European ones, which caused a wave of criticism.
Laughing comedian Victor Vemuna accused the Diesel Show project of racism due to the fact that black people are considered objects of ridicule by the representatives of the latter.
