Luis Rubiales’ “not resigning” and his controversial speech are the main agenda for this Friday. The issue gained such a dimension that TVE changed La 1’s schedule with the special episode ‘La hora de La 1’ presented by Silvia Itxaurrondo.
The presenter in this space was very frank and ruthless when speaking about the decision and the statements of the RFEF’s senior leader: “We can’t let it go“.
“In his speech this morning, Luis Rubiales confirmed that this kiss was indeed consented to without Jenni Hermoso’s consent. This version does not correspond to the information disclosed,” Itxaurrondo reassured, before quoting journalist Natalia Torrente. Revelo, who relays this information and is also outspoken about it: “If it was mutual I wouldn’t have to hold his head“.
Earlier, Itxaurrondo was also very critical of Rubiales before asking F League president Beatriz Fernández on a live link: “This guy doesn’t just represent the RFEF anymore. So he tells the Federation ‘I have accounts’.” My friend will have to account for questions that concern him, federations, budgets, etc., as I understand it. There will be topics like… He represents an entire country when there is a world championship. So I understand that explanations need to be made for all of us, right?“.
The journalist also sent a message to Luis Rubiales after his speech at the extraordinary convention and his “not resigning” during the special program: “How easy would it be to say ‘Hey, to be honest, I was wrong’. This is a position at the federation’s discretion.” But no. He also stepped in and started to struggle with windmills. It was very simple to do“.
