STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSMADRID - The Spanish soccer federation chief's public apology for his unsolicited kiss of national player Jenni Hermoso during celebrations of Spain's victory in the Women's World Cup was"not enough", Acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Tuesday.
"We've seen his apology and that's not enough, he must be much clearer and convincing in apologising," Sanchez told a news conference."He must take more steps to clarify a behaviour that is unacceptable." Hermoso's first reaction to the kiss, planted on her lips as Rubiales cupped her face with his hands in post-game celebrations, was a comment to her teammates in the locker room.
"Surely I was wrong, I have to admit," Rubiales said in the video statement sent by the federation."It was without bad faith at a time of maximum effusiveness."
