FIFA has suspended the president of the Spanish Football Federation after kissing a national team player. The athlete says it was not approved, Rubiales says yes and refuses to resign
On Monday morning, the mother of Luis Rubiales, President of the Spanish Football Federation, entered the Divina Pastora de Motril Church, in the Capuchinos neighborhood of Motril, Granada, and announced that she would go on a hunger strike “indefinitely.” day and night,” until a solution is found to the “inhuman and bloody persecution” they inflict on the son “with something he does not deserve.”
According to the EFE Agencywho spoke with Angelis Bejar, the woman is inside the church with her sister and the parish priest has already left.
Angeles, who said he would not leave the protest until after justice was done, also left a request for Jenny Hermoso to “tell the truth” and “preserve the version you had at the beginning of the events.”
And the mother of Rubiales, who was suspended by FIFA, believes that “sexual abuse does not exist when there is consent from both parties, as proven in the pictures.”
“He’s incapable of hurting anyone,” says Angeles, “why would they target him?” And what is behind all this history?
Spanish football has been involved in controversy since August 20, when Luis Rubiales, at the end of the match crowning the Spanish national team as world champions in Sydney, kissed Jenny Hermoso on her mouth during the celebration.
After several days of intense criticism from various sectors of society, the federation held an extraordinary general meeting on Friday, at which Rubiales’ resignation was expected.
Luis Rubiales did not resign, leading to a new climax of rivalry and extremes, with the national team players declaring themselves unavailable to return to represent Spain while the current captains of the Spanish Football Federation remain in their posts.
