This is a topic that has moved many people because it shows what many women have to face, not only in countries with a developed tradition of Maczyism. In August 2023 Spanish – players – won gold at the World Cup. During the medals ceremony, the head of the Spanish Football Association Luis Rubiales kissed the player Jennifer Hermoso on his mouth, without asking her for his opinion and consent.
The Spanish media again extensively reports a kiss, which should not have happened. They resemble scenes from August 2023, when after the Spain winner, the president of the Football Federation Luis Rubiales kissed the football player Jennifer Hermoso.
Now you are growing and Hermoso are meeting in court. The footballer testified that she had never agreed to kiss.
– It was a moment that stained one of the happiest days in my life. At any time I did not seek what happened, the more I did not expect it. I was shown disrespect – said in court Jennifer Hermoso, a representative of Spain in football.
The case of Luis Rubiales to this day divides the Spaniards
47-year-old Rubiales is accused of sexual assault and forcing Hermoso to make a statement that the kiss was voluntary. The prosecutor demands him a sentence of two and a half years in prison and payment of EUR 50,000 compensation.
Jennifer Hermoso says that this one moment turned her life upside down, because the media noise and threats to her address meant that she had to leave Madrid with her family.
– It was a total surprise. My boss kissed me. Such situations should not take place in any social or professional environment – pointed out Jennifer Hermoso.
The case still divides the Spaniards. She caused a hot debate about the approach to women, sexism and Macho culture. After the scandal, Rubiales lost his position. He explains that he got carried away at the time of euphoria after the great success of the players. He complains that he has fallen victim to “pseudo -feature witch hunt”.
Luis Rubiales expressed their repentance in his own way just after the Spanish women won the World Cup. – I am sorry, because this matter overshadowed the slightly the greatest success in the history of our female football – he commented Rubiales in August 2023.
The case is pending before the Madrid court is reported by the media from around the world. Luis de la Fuente's testimonies caused great interest. The coach of the Spanish male national team was to take part in a meeting, at which the president rubbed with colleagues established a strategy aimed at clearing him of the allegations. Luis de la Fuente denies this and says: I have always talked to the president only about the ball.
– No, I learned everything after the fact. I did not realize what dimension this meeting has – said Luis de la Fuente in court.
20 witnesses are to be questioned during the trial. Rubyles will testify as last. The verdict is to be announced at the end of February.
