Angeles Bejar, mother of Spanish soccer chief Luis Rubiales, has reportedly started a hunger strike to protest against her son’s ‘inhumane treatment’ over his grabbing and kissing player Jenni Hermoso
The mother of Spanish soccer chief Luis Rubiales on Monday locked herself inside a church and started a hunger strike to protest against what she called her son’s “inhumane treatment” over his grabbing and kissing player Jenni Hermoso, EFE news agency reported.
Labour Minister Yolanda Diaz was also due to meet on Monday with representatives of the women’s players’ union FUTPRO, which represents Hermoso, and the Association of Spanish Footballers to ensure football is a sector “that has decent conditions and spaces free of sexist violence.” “There is no sexual abuse since there is consent on both sides, as the images prove,” Bejar told EFE. She questioned “why they’re taking it out on him” and what “is behind this whole story.”Rubiales, 46, has been defiant over the kiss – which has been condemned as unwanted by Hermoso, her team mates and the Spanish government – arguing it was consensual.
