The controversy is still as lively in Spain, after the kiss on the mouth imposed by Luis Rubiales on Jenni Hermoso. And all the more so as the media Report shared another video on Monday embarrassing the president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). We see the leader exulting on Sunday after Carmona’s winning goal in the Women’s World Cup final against England (1-0), touching his private parts in the Sydney grandstand . And this right next to Queen Letizia of Spain and her daughter Sofia…
Luis Rubiales did not need that for his resignation to be demanded at the very top of the Spanish government. Minister of Labor and Social Economy, and Second Vice-President of the Government, Yolanda Diaz told the media gathered in Congress on Monday: “We demand the resignation of Rubiales, who harassed and assaulted a woman. His apologies are absolutely useless.”
“No bad intentions”
Before her, the Spanish Minister of Culture and Sports Miquel Iceta had described this forced kiss as “unacceptable”, while demanding “explanations and apologies” from the president of the RFEF. These intervened on Monday, without therefore convincing Yolanda Diaz. In a video posted on social networks, Luis Rubiales explained that he had acted “without any bad intention”.
“In an increasingly fusional moment, without any bad intentions, well, what happened happened…” If Jenni Hermoso and her mother tried to deflate the controversy, evoking “a gesture mutual affection and totally spontaneous gratitude”, Luis Rubiales is clearly not out of the woods.
