The kiss on the mouth of Rubiales to Jenni Hermoso goes around the world and they ask for her resignation

“Bullshit, assholes and scumbags.” Inexplicable words and insults from Luis Rubiales that are directed at those who have criticized the kiss on the mouth that he planted on Jenni Hermoso at the delivery of the Soccer World Cup in Sydney. Unusual reaction from the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, who did not measure that gesture out of place, nor has he measured his post-kiss words: “We are not for gili… It’s a peak of two friends celebrating something… Let’s go to enjoy the good”, he said in the microphones of Cope and on Radio Marca. The acting Minister of Culture and Sports, Miquel Iceta, considers the gesture “unacceptable” and that he should apologize.

The player, overwhelmed, in the middle of the podium at the Sydney stadium during the victory celebration, received that unexpected kiss that she later commented like this: “I didn’t like it, but what do I do?” Hours later, she clarified to Europa Press: “The president and I have a great relationship. It was a spontaneous and loving mutual gesture.” And she has qualified that it is a “totally spontaneous mutual gesture for the immense joy that winning a World Cup gives.” However, the criticisms are based on the fact that it was not the place and, above all, that a kiss is not given without consent. The socialist Adriana Lastra calls Rubiales “pure machismo” and calls for her resignation: “It is already taking time to apologize and resign.”

The Rubiales thing is not an anecdote, it is pure machismo. Don’t downplay it, don’t compare him to Iker and Sara, don’t laugh at this riffraff who think they have the right to grope women.
It is already taking time to apologize and resign.

This has been argued by Irene Montero on her Twitter.

Let’s not assume that kissing without consent is something that “happens”. It is a form of sexual violence that women suffer on a daily basis and until now invisible, and that we cannot normalize. It is the task of the whole society. Consent in the center. only yes is yes

Pablo Echenique has also expressed himself in his profile.

Here is the frame of the possibly criminal act of Rubiales. Let’s see if FIFA knocks this down for me too. https://t.co/PSMLrZ1DvL pic.twitter.com/zhhSE2XnAK
