The mother of Spanish Football Association President Luis Rubiales went on a hunger strike because she sees her son being treated unfairly. She probably got off lightly.
The mother of Luis Rubiales, the head of the Spanish football association who was suspended in the kiss scandal, is feeling better again. The woman was released from the hospital in Motril in the south of the country on Thursday night, the specialist newspaper “AS” and other Spanish media reported unanimously. It was said that she left the clinic accompanied by her son.
Rubiales’ mother was taken to Santa Ana Hospital on Wednesday, the third day of her hunger strike. This was announced by the priest of the Church of Divina Pastora in Motril, where Ángeles Béjar had been on hunger strike since Monday. “It’s because of the heat and everything. She had swollen feet and was exhausted. Also nervous,” Priest Antonio was quoted as saying by the media.
The woman said she wanted to use the action to protest against what she believed to be an “inhuman and bloody hunt” for her son. He was a good person, she assured. It was not announced whether she intends to continue the hunger strike.
Luis Rubiales had kissed Jenni Hermoso on the mouth without being asked
Rubiales kissed player Jennifer Hermoso on the mouth at the awards ceremony after Spain won the World Cup final in Sydney on August 20. He claims the kiss was mutual. After the incident, Hermoso said she “felt the victim of an impulsive, sexist and inappropriate act that I did not consent to.”
The world football association Fifa has suspended Rubiales for 90 days and initiated disciplinary proceedings. The Spanish sports court Tad is also dealing with the case at the request of the government in Madrid. Rubiales refuses to resign as president of the national association RFEF, although this has also been demanded by the regional associations of the RFEF, among others.
