The resignation of Luis Rubiales was not a success for the Government, but only a relief for Pedro Sánchez, who was afraid to face the biggest scandal of his career; as if the bully had scared him more than González and Guerra combined. FIFA condemned Moncloa for representing with absolute fidelity an operetta character supported by Spanish football who lacked foresight. However, the real implementer of the restoration of territorialism was the public. Although this institution operated without distinction of gender or age, Spanish women as a whole achieved a transcendent victory; They gained social approval beyond the rules that their bodies should not be played with.
The constancy of views in the face of the tolerance of the football world, including the affiliated press, prevented the dishonorable departure of the testicular president. However, the same week that the prosecutor’s office and Jenni Hermoso took action, his resignation came through a criminal trial. Like major corrupt politicians, Rubiales’ prior consultation with his criminal lawyer would have informed Rubiales that his assets were dwindling. The dominant trend, synthesized by the distinguished prosecutor José María Mena, favors the lower level of sexual assault; This penalty is subject to a prison sentence of one to four years, which may possibly be replaced by a fine. It was an ordeal for the victim, but the die was cast. Of course, a corner should also be reserved for those of us who embrace the no less radical dictum of the great Clara Serra. That is, a “rainy sexism” that must be stopped immediately, without having to wade into troubled punitive waters.
Rubiales’ resignation is a feminine victory but an embarrassment for the Government, which had to sack him before intervening in the general assembly of the Royal Spanish Football Federation. No one can speak in a pro-coup language against an institution that synthesizes the Crown, the State, the Nation and, most importantly, even the Ball in its name. The disappearance of a man who humiliated a country was a step towards throwing unresolved pantomimes such as TAD into the dustbin of history. Not to mention the CSD or the shaky Ministry of Culture.
