BARCELONA, Aug 25 — Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales refused to resign on Friday after a week of widespread criticism for his unsolicited kiss on the lips of player Jenni Hermoso following Spain’s Women’s World Cup triumph.
The RFEF chief claimed his kiss on Hermoso’s lips was consensual and done in the same spirit as kissing his child.Hermoso had released a statement Wednesday saying women players’ union Futpro were defending her interests. Futpro said Rubiales’ actions should not go “unpunished”. “What we have seen today at the federation assembly is unacceptable,” wrote second deputy prime minister Yolanda Diaz on social network X, formerly known as Twitter.
He continued: “Today I can already announce that we are going to take the case to the TAD ... I am sincerely surprised.”La Liga president Javier Tebas, who has frequently sparred with Rubiales and the RFEF, was heavily critical. “In the event that Mr Rubiales does not resign immediately, the AFE demands that the be applied,” said the association in a statement Tuesday.
