Public service media in Sweden, Norway and Denmark revealed earlier this spring that some hotels in Qatar are banning gay couples from staying.
Despite promises to return answers to the media, the organizer has remained completely silent.
Democracy is in decline, says Lise Clavens, president of the Norwegian Football Association, in Olof Lunde’s podcast.
“We take all violations of this protocol or other forms of discrimination very seriously.” It was the regulator’s response when the revelation was first discovered in May.
Despite repeated questions, reminders, and attempts to contact, it is completely silent.
This was reported by NRK, which also wrote that with SVT and DR, they contacted the regulator a total of five times. Each time it was announced that they were working on the question and that the answer would come in a couple of days, but that simply wasn’t the case.
On the other hand, FIFA received an answer.
An email states that all hotels that will host guests specifically for the World Cup are obligated to non-discrimination. Additional conversations were held with the three hotels mentioned in the disclosure, while the others received an additional reminder of the rules to follow.
FIFA also points out that hotels that do not respect the rules can have their agreements with the organization terminated. All three hotels revealed are official World Cup hotels.
Clavins: “Democracy is in decline”
Liz Clavens is the first female president of the Norwegian Football Association. criticized QatarThe World Cup and the country’s lack of human rights in an open letter to the FIFA Congress earlier this spring.
Recently, on Sunday, Klaveness at Oslo Airport was prevented from returning to Qatar with a UEFA delegation. the reason? Incorrect aura documentation.
Democracy is in retreat, and human rights organizations are shutting down worldwide at a faster rate than ever before. So although in the Nordic countries we think it is a normal matter, they are in a state of decline, and it will not be long before this happens to us, so football must be aware of its responsibility in this matter, and then we must be courageous leaders , says Klaveness on the Olof Lundh podcast.
