In the Rubiales family, after the son, I would like the mother. While Luis Rubiales seems totally isolated after his refusal to resign as president of the Spanish Football Federation, following his kiss on the mouth to player Jenni Hermoso, his mother has decided to react. How ? According to SportÁngeles Béjar locked herself in a church, in Motril, a town in the province of Granada, and began a hunger strike.
This one denounces the “inhuman and bloody hunt that they make to [son] son” and asks Jenni Hermoso to tell “the truth” about what happened on the podium when the World Cup was handed over to the Spanish players. The mother of Luis Rubiales, temporarily suspended from his post by FIFA, considers that “there is no sexual abuse since there is consent on both sides” and that “the images show it” . She further wonders “why are they being cruel to him”, as her son “is incapable of harming anyone”.
Rubiales right in his boots
Thursday evening, Luis Rubiales justified himself by saying that the kiss on the mouth he had inflicted on Jenni Hermoso had been “spontaneous, mutual and consented”. “I’m not going to resign, I’m not going to resign”, he launched in front of several dozen delegates from the RFEF (the Spanish federation), the men applauding, the women remaining motionless. Luis Rubiales, who turned 46 this week, also attacked “false feminism” which “does not seek the truth”.
