Political Circles Unite to Hit Back at Messi; Regina Ip Demands Permanent Entry Ban
政界同仇敵愾「反駁」美斯 葉劉要求永久禁止入境
Messi was unable to play due to injury during his visit to Hong Kong, but came on as a substitute for 30 minutes in a friendly match in Japan yesterday, prompting Hong Kong politicians to unite in condemning him. The most forceful view so far came from New People’s Party chairwoman Regina Ip, who wrote on social media platform X that Hong Kong people hated Messi, claimed that a “hidden hand” had deliberately plotted against Hong Kong, and demanded that Messi never be allowed to enter Hong Kong again. Junius Ho continued his “wolf warrior” stance, saying, “A gentleman does not leave a grudge unavenged,” and further accused Messi of “insulting China”.
美斯在訪港期間因傷未能上陣，昨日卻在日本友賽後備上陣30分鐘，令香港政界「同仇敵愾」炮轟美斯。暫時「走得最前」的意見，要數新民黨主席葉劉淑儀，她在社交媒體X發文，稱港人痛恨美斯，指有「幕後黑手」有心計算香港，更要求永不允許美斯入境香港。何君堯就繼續「戰狼」，指「有仇不報，非君子也」，更指美斯「辱華」。
