MADRID – The mother of Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales on Monday locked herself inside a church and started a hunger strike to protest against what she called her son’s “inhumane treatment” over his grabbing and kissing player Jennifer Hermoso, EFE news agency...
“There is no sexual abuse since there is consent on both sides, as the images prove,” Bejar told EFE. She questioned “why they’re taking it out on him” and what “is behind this whole story”.
Rubiales, 46, has been defiant over the kiss – which has been condemned as unwanted by Hermoso, her teammates and the Spanish government – arguing it was consensual. Feminist groups have called a demonstration on Monday in Madrid entitled “With You Jenni”. Hundreds of people staged a demonstration on Sunday in Salamanca against Rubiales.
