Such attitudes have been a part of our National Team’s daily life for years.. I have to say that I’m under. continuous pressure To make a statement to justify the action of Mr. Luis Rubiales. The Federation pressured my environment (family, friends, colleagues, etc.) to make a statement that had nothing to do with my feelings”, adds the Pachuca player “zero tolerance with these behaviors.

Jennifer Hermoso, behavior that violates the dignity of women They want to express their resolute and strong condemnation.

Rubiales: “It was a spontaneous and mutual kiss”

In addition to placing responsibility for Rubiales’ future on him, Hermoso had to endure a rebuilding of events according to the Federation president’s version of Rubiales’ speech. “It was a spontaneous and mutual kiss. Jenni picked me up from the ground, then we hugged and I said ‘Forget the punishment’. He said to me, ‘You’re a crackpot,’ and I said, ‘A little bit?’ I said, ‘OK,’ he said, justifying the senior president’s commitment to his position.

“There are many people who support me despite being silenced.. I want to thank you for all the support messages and the calls I’ve received,” he added. Before Rubiales announced his refusal to resign, FIFA decided, through the Disciplinary Committee, to initiate disciplinary proceedings against the RFEF president.

Rubiales’ words and refusal to resign prompted the Government to act only hours later. Minister of State for Sports and Chairman of the Supreme Sports Council, Victor FrancosAt a press conference, he confirmed that the Government “will file a complaint with the TAD for a very serious offense and if the TAD deems it appropriate in the next few days we will consider at CSD whether this very serious offense can disqualify it”. “and stated:” eMr. Rubiales did not live up to expectations today, neither the players nor the government or Spanish society. You have disappointed your reaction. You didn’t do what you should have done. We think that the statements do not match their positions, and therefore we want to make it very clear that the actions of the assembly, far from resolving the situation and calming the environment in which it has put us, have fueled the debate. On Tuesday, the president told him he needed to do more, and far from addressing this issue, what he’s doing is only making things worse.”

That’s why Franco explained: “The government is taking action for Mr. Rubiales to make a statement before the TAD and if the TAD accepts and the CSD is in a position to do so, we will remove him from the presidency. Today we will be filing a complaint with TAD for a very serious offense and, if TAD deems it appropriate in the next few days, we will consider at CSD whether this very serious offense can disqualify you. We have come to a point where the government will take action and TAD will receive its own complaint from MKK. The complaint is due this afternoon and I request an extraordinary meeting next Monday, because any time we can win is welcome. If you open the case and you think this very serious crime deserves to be prosecuted, we will immediately convene the Board of Directors with all the documents. This should be the #MeToo of Spanish sport.”
