Political leaders ask for the resignation of Rubiales on social networks for the kiss to Jenni Hermoso

   MADRID, 21 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The kiss on the lips that the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, gave the player Jenni Hermoso after winning the World Cup selection has not gone unnoticed on social networks where it has generated numerous criticisms and even his resignation has been requested.

Thus, the acting ministers of Equality, Irene Montero, and that of Social Rights and Agenda 2023, Ione Belarra, have described Rubiales' gesture of sexual violence. "Let's not take for granted that kissing without consent is something that "happens". It is a form of sexual violence that women suffer on a daily basis and up to now invisible, and that we cannot normalize. It is the task of all of society. The consent in the center. Only yes is yes", the Minister of Equality wrote on the social network X.

Along the same lines and sharing this latest text, Belarra has expressed herself and has ruled that "sexual violence against women has to end."

"What we all think, if they do that with all of Spain watching, what will they not do in private. Sexual violence against women has to end. A hug to the Champions!", he wrote.

For her part, the acting delegate against gender-based violence, Victoria Rosell, echoed the message of Minister Montero and posted a message asking for her resignation accompanied by an article explaining how the president of the Spanish Football Federation is chosen. and how can he be dismissed by means of a motion of censure "if he does not resign after his shameful - and criminal - performance, art 178 ss CP, if the affected party decided to denounce it."

"There was a time when there were things only for men. A time in which women could not choose when to be kissed or dedicate ourselves to football. Luckily that time is over," added the Secretary of State for Equality, Ángela Rodríguez 'Pam' in this same social network. "CampeonAs and Only yes is yes. The red one is also a feminist," she added.

The PSOE deputy for Asturias, Adriana Lastra, has joined the request for the resignation of the president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, whom she has described as "unpresentable" and has asked for his resignation "for everything. For his unacceptable behavior during the game, for believing that he can violate the players and that he is also funny, and for insulting and harassing half the country."

For Sumar's parliamentary spokeswoman, Marta Lois, "this type of sexist behavior towards the Spanish player Jennifer Hermoso is intolerable." "Mr. Rubiales should resign. A shame," Lois wrote on the X social network, whose message was reposted by the top leader of the formation and acting Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz.

The leader and spokesman for Sumar, Ernest Urtasum, has expressed himself in the same vein and, in his opinion, Rubiales should resign "tomorrow." "The image that he has transferred to the world is of repugnant machismo. He cannot go unpunished," Urtasum posted.
