The Spanish international Jenni Beautiful assured Friday evening to have felt “vulnerable and victim of aggression” when she was kissed by the president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis rubialesSunday during the World Cup final, following claiming that this kiss “was not consented“.
“I felt vulnerable and the victim of an assault, an impulsive and sexist act, inappropriate and without any consent on my part“, said the Spanish N.10 in a press release published on its social networks regarding the kiss imposed by its president on Sunday evening during the presentation of the medals of world champions in Sydney.
A few hours earlier, Hermoso had assured, in a first press release from her Futpro union, that she had “at no time consented to this kiss“, dismantling the defense of Luis Rubiales.
Against all expectations and despite the pressure, the boss of Spanish football had refused to resign from his post on Friday before the extraordinary general assembly of his Federation gathered near Madrid.
In office since 2018, the former defender launched a counterattack, saying the kiss was “reciprocal” et “consented” and that he had obtained permission to do so, while castigating the “fake feminism“.
And Friday night, which is already dubbed the “#MeToo of Spanish football“, following facts considered in the law as sexual assault, experienced yet another twist with the announcement of a strike by the national women’s team.
The 23 players of the team crowned world champions on Sunday in Australia have indeed announced that they refuse to play once more with La Roja “if the current leaders (were) maintained“. The text, already signed by 81 players, remains open to other signatures, according to the Futpro union.
