Former President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Luis Rubiales This Tuesday he gave the most extensive interview since his case broke. Before the imminent presentation of his book. Rubiales was killedthe former footballer went to ChiringuitoHe confirmed this after kissing Jenny Hermoso There was a “radical left” campaign and Pedro Sanchez used the gesture as a “smokescreen.” Granting amnesty to independents.
“Jenny was my friend. I’m not saying they manipulated her or if it was for other interests. What I saw was an immediate movement of the extreme left in our country with clear guiding interests, with a parallel reality created and with an immediate change of script. In a context where To be installed, Pedro Sánchez needed the support of the independents and had to grant them a pardon He said a thousand times that it is illegal and that it has no place in the constitution. “A smokescreen,” Rubiales said of the prime minister.
Luis Rubiales insisted in the interview: “For Pedro Sánchez to be sworn in as president, he needs the support of the independents and the granting of amnesty. And of course, I immediately saw that the far left was so hypocritical as to elevate a minor issue to the nth degree, “When things happen within their party and they cover it up, they obviously go after me.”
Regarding his political criticism, he added:Yolanda Diaz, first of all, deprives me of the presumption of innocence. It deprives me of the presumption of innocence that every Spaniard must have. “But when she has an internal problem of an equal or greater nature, the matter of ‘Yes I believe you, sister, I believe you’ seems to be forgotten,” Rubiales said.
Then Irene Montero criticized: “I think directly that the lady who did what she did with the “Yes Means Yes” law, which allowed rapists to be on the streets, He has no moral capacity to speak on this subject. “This is the way I understand it, with all humility,” he said.
“The thing is Justice lies in the proportionality of how it is dealt with. Disparity, how to deal with the topic, and how to modify the hero’s story. I didn’t change my story, I didn’t change my story. I was initially mistaken for something stressful due to the death of a family member, a player, I may have made mistakes, but I wouldn’t change anything. She added: “Those who see it as a hermetic view of a version of radical feminism, it makes sense to think that way, but that’s not what happened.”
“When the kiss came out they were laughing, what a good vibe, what a good vibe, look at how they get along. And there was a moment there was a “click.” And the change that had to be explained in their network, or by the politicians who changed, and there was a massive, disproportionate and unfair modification, I was deprived of the assumption, I was directly baptized and so it remained as a non-consensual kiss, etc., etc.,” Rubiales insisted.
“We are on a break and have to go to the Supreme Court. I am a lawyer, and the meaning of consent alone is not enough to classify a kiss as sexual assault, as the Supreme Court has already said. There must be sexual intent in the kiss I believe that this is something that, moreover, does not appear in the sentence, must be written in the sentence for the sentence to be true. “So we have our arguments to say very clearly that what happened was wrong, because institutionally I was wrong, but it was not a crime.”
“I do not apologize to Jenny Hermoso to this day.”
The former Spanish Football Federation president also denied that he would have changed his “first testimony” as “others” had done, including hers. Jenny Hermosoabout him Sexual assault Because of the non-consensual kiss he directed to the player after the 2023 Women’s World Cup final.
“When there is a ruling, we all have to abide by it, but the rule of law allows us to appeal it if we do not agree and agree with it.” We actually believe this is not sexual assaultRubiales said.
“These things have happened, but many other things are missing. First of all, I must say, again as I have said on many occasions, that It was unwise and I wasn’t feeling well.that I should have been in a more presidential position. But from there to All set up in an extravagant and completely distorted wayHe added, “The status quo, which has been taken to its maximum power and with interests that we can now talk about, is more than it deserves.”
“In my assembly speech I started by saying that I made a mistake, the problem is that the media did not publish it“He charged.” “As president I should have been cooler and more institutional. I don’t apologize to Jenny Hermoso today because I asked her and she said ‘OK,'” he said after briefly holding Hermoso’s head during the medal ceremony.
“The sentence says so and we agree that it is evidence. Jenny and I both know that is not the case.” I wouldn’t change my first degree like others did, like Jenny did This is something between her and me. He added: “I asked her permission and she told me, ‘Well, it’s also a passionate kiss without any sexual connotation in front of 80,000 people.'”
“Jenny was a good friend. Jenny missed a penalty, she came up and kind of hugged me, gave me (the kiss).” Jenny helped us a lot in reshaping the team And after what happened with the 15 who were not actually 15 years old, but rather 18 years old; Paredes, Jenny and Alexia Putellas were also in favor of this, although they did not sign it.”
“There are many videos”
“I I know I’m right because I asked her and she said, “Okay.”. I mean it’s that simple. She and I know that. She knows it, and I do too. And it has changed. It took several days, whether he withstood the pressure or not…” he speculated. “There are many videos that have not seen the light of day. “I’m no longer a member of the federation, but there are a lot of videos where the live heroes are hanging out and doing more stuff.”
He stressed, “I had already left the Union and was not able to reach them. If I had had the opportunity, the matter would have been clearer. You have no doubt that there are recorded hours on this line, and even clearer and with direct participation.” “I think the 33-year-old hasn’t changed his mind; The version has been changed in an interested manner“, he gestured to Hermoso again.
“I talked to her and said, ‘Hey Jenny, everyone, all the professionals told me the best thing would be for us to come out together and say what we’ve already said.’” Video But It was clear that we were eating pizza And talking about the trip to Egypt,” highlighted the former president of the Spanish Football Federation.
He added: “I was wrong at first because of stress due to the death of a family member, a player. I could have made mistakes, but I would not have changed anything.”
“When I landed in Qatar and got here I saw that he was there Perfect stormHe explained that there were some media outlets that systematically attacked me, media outlets that received huge amounts of La Liga in “branded content” and there was also that perfect storm.
