MADRID, 1 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, congratulated this Friday the FC Barcelona midfielder Aitana Bonmatí for her “deserved” award for ‘Best European Player’ for the 2022-2023 season and also for her “brave words against the abuse of power in labor relations and disrespect”.
“Congratulations Aitana Bonmatí for the well-deserved UEFA Player of the Year award. And also congratulations for your brave words against the abuse of power in labor relations and lack of respect. You can say louder but not clearer, despite that some insist on not understanding what the problem is,” Tebas said in his official profile of ‘X’.
The international clearly surpassed the Australian Sam Kerr (Chelsea) and the also Spanish Olga Carmona (Real Madrid) in the final vote for this award and in her thank you speech she did not forget everything that is happening after the kiss of Luis Rubiales , then president of the RFEF and currently provisionally suspended by FIFA, to forward Jenni Hermoso after winning the World Cup on August 20.
“As a society we should not allow abuse of power in an employment relationship or disrespect. From my colleague Jenni [Hermoso], to all the women who suffer the same, we are with you. And hopefully we continue working so that this society improves,” said the one from Sant Pere de Ribes.
