Luis Rubiales He left Moncloa last Tuesday believing he needed to strengthen himself. After confirming, with Pedro Sánchez’s cold greeting and subsequent remarks, that he had been “forsaken” by the PSOE leader, he took up his position as Federation president. Then another board from the People’s Party would come and the day would end with Sumar’s notice. The person from Motril urgently called his team on the third floor of the Ciudad Deportiva del Fútbol building. Build a strategy before “government treachery”As the Federation sources confirmed at the last minute by El Periódico de España from the Prensa Ibérica group.
Telematic conversation with the “Praetorian guard”
Telematics meeting with several regional presidents, whom Rubiales sees as his “pretrorian guard,” will be held next Friday, Protecting the Andalusian leader from “political and media harassment” After the president kissed football player Jenni Hermoso. An assembly where attendees will double their trust in Rubiales. The thought of resigning never crossed his mind. and will leave his post, as this will inevitably entail a departure from other positions of responsibility at institutions such as UEFA, where he has been Deputy Chairman of the Executive Committee since May 2019 and earns 250,000 Euros per year.
The assembly, which includes not only the heads of regional divisions, but also different groups such as players or referees, will rally around its president and value achievements in the Women’s World Cup and Nations League. . Federation sources also confirm that Rubiales will go one step further to clean up his image and ask the following question: I apologize more stronglythus trying to hide the impact of information confirming that the president and Jorge Vilda pressured Hermoso and his family to appear in the video he recorded in Doha apologizing.
Rubiales won time
In line with the announcement that the meeting will take place, and based on recent events, the Federation stated that “the RFEF’s internal procedures regarding integrity matters and other relevant protocols are clear.” A decision implying the activation of the RFEF Advisory Committee Against Sexual Abuse; Forces CSD to wait for its decision to actHe allows Rubiales to buy time so he can celebrate the assembly coming out stronger than him.
Rubiales will leave the assembly to the praise of the crowd, but still the plan to stay in office has some weaknesses. The government cannot remove him from office or have him resign because the councilors have chosen him, but it has the means to disable him for a time. To this end, the Supreme Sports Council, chaired by Víctor Francos, must submit some of the three complaints submitted to the Administrative Court of Sport (TAD), the highest institutional authority in sports-related matters: complaint by Miguel Galán (director training of CENAFE coaches), former referee That of Estrada Fernández or of Yolanda Díaz, Vice President of the Sumar party.
Jenni Hermoso’s statement is “decisive”
When the disciplinary file is submitted to the TAD at the request of the CSD, an investigative judge from the college body prepares a report. then it will be possible Disqualifying Rubiales until TAD announces definitively about complaints. Francos has already confirmed that he “formally asked the Federation to sue immediately and if they do not do so, the CSD will take action”. I hope to read the resolution in the next few days and start from there. walking.” CSD behind these processes give priority to testimony Jenni Beautifulvictim’ The kiss of Rubiales, who roughly manipulated some statements from the Federation to EFE that the player did not make in favor of the leader. Francos also warned the microphones of El Larguero from the SER chain that “the hero’s statement will illuminate the entire file, and the decision to present the file to the TAD will depend on its classification of the situation as serious or very serious.”
The last alternative that exists to oust Rubiales from the federal presidency is a motion of no confidence, but that process cannot be presented within the first six months of his term or when elections are between one year and six months away. RFEF will hold elections next summer, so the transaction would time out. To achieve this, 46 votes out of 140 are needed from a parliament where Motril rules with an iron fist. An alternative defined by the Federation as “not applicable”.
Thus, the situation presents the scenario that the Supreme Sports Council waits for the work of a Federation that has also gained time to hold a meeting. May announce new measures in favor of Rubiales Women’s Football make up for the event With Jenni Hermoso, the CSD takes the player’s statement and decides whether any of the complaints should be submitted to the Sports Administrative Court (TAD), with which they can temporarily disqualify the leader pending the outcome of the case. As fate would have it, Rubiales now depends on the testimony of actress Jenni Hermoso, whom he kissed without her consent.
