(CNN) — ¿Cristiano Ronaldo o Lionel Messi? Ese el debate que ha mantenido entretenidos a los entusiastas del fútbol durante más de una década.

Bayern refutes accusations of ‘sportswashing’ after replacing Qatar deal with Rwanda sponsorship

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:20:12 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — First Qatar, now Rwanda.Bayern Munich’s contentious sponsorship deals are leaving the club open to accusations of “sportswashing” and alienating many of its fans.Last month, the Bavarian powerhouse announced a new five-year partnership with Rwanda to develop soccer and boost tourism in the east African country. It replaced its previous sponsorship deal with Qatar, which had led to fan protests at games and unruly scenes at the club’s annual general meeting in 2021, when angry members booed club directors for refusing to discuss the arrangements.Bayern’s deal with Qatar Airways expired in June and was not renewed, reportedly because Qatar’s emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, faulted the club for not doing more to distance itself from the protests.Both Qatar and Rwanda have been accused of human rights abuses, but Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen denies the club is facilitating sportswashing to deflect attention from the alleged abuses.“I don’t see what we’re doing i...

Nine months after an alleged cash-for-influence scandal rocked the European Parliament, MEPs remain split over how much they reveal about potential conflicts of interest.The latest partisan divide on ethics overhaul — this time on a set of concrete rule changes designed to close gaps revealed by Qatargate — comes as new analysis documents how MEPs frequently maintain affiliations with organizations that lobby the EU even as they serve in the Parliament.On Thursday, Conservative MEPs on the Parliament’s Constitutional Affairs Committee refused to back a slate of rule changes after amendments that would require asset disclosures and other tougher measures were tacked on to an earlier compromise text. The legislation received majority support from left-leaning and centrist groups, setting the stage for a measure-by-measure brawl when the package is put before the plenary next week.Gabriele Bischoff, a vice president of the Socialist & Democrats group, knocked the center-right Europ...
