Since the closing whistle of the Women’s World Cup between Spain and England blew last week, which was crowned by the Spanish women, and the spark of criticism that rained down on Luis Rubiales, President of the Spanish Federation, for kissing the player Jennifer Hermoso while blessing her, it has not been extinguished.
Penalties fell on the man and ended with him being suspended from FIFA, the International Federation of Football Associations, temporarily until the investigations were completed.
“Kiss Kiss”
However, a new video clip brought the story back to the fore again, showing Spanish soccer player Jenny Hermoso laughing at a picture of Luis Rubiales kissing her, while other players chanted “kiss, kiss.”
And it appears that the newly appeared clip, published by El Espanol, was recorded on the team bus after its victory over England.
The footage showed Hermoso smiling and laughing, holding a split photo of Rubiales’ kiss next to a picture of the Spain goalkeeper kissing his partner after the men’s 2010 World Cup victory.
She was also heard telling her teammates that Rubiales caught her the same way.
widespread confusion
It is noteworthy that the confusion caused by the kiss of the President of the Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, to the star Jenny Hermoso on her lips after her country won the World Cup, did not stop, despite his later apology.
Many social media pioneers expressed their dissatisfaction with the incident, as one of them said, “This kind of behavior towards the Spain national team player, Jennifer Hermoso, is something that cannot be tolerated. Mr. Rubiales should submit his resignation… What happened is shameful.” According to the “Koora” website, which specializes in sports news.
In turn, Equality Minister Irene Montero stressed, via the “X” platform, that “this is a form of sexual abuse that we women suffer from every day… and we are not supposed to normalize it.”
In turn, Spanish Minister of Social Rights Ion Pilara confirmed via “X”: We are all thinking: If this act took place in front of the whole of Spain, what is happening in secret? Sexual violence against women must end.”
