The kiss without consent of Luis Rubiales, since last Sunday former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, to the national team and Pachuca player Jennifer Hermoso continues to give something to talk about. Four days have passed since the president presented his resignation definitively, after remaining in office for several weeks despite the suspension from FIFA. To this day, criticism continues to fall.
On this occasion, it was the turn of Alessandro Lequio, aristocrat and collaborator of many Mediaset programs. The count has issued a notable opinion on the Rubiales case and, in particular, some of his detractors through a letter on Instagram. The television personality wanted to denounce the hypocrisy of some people who have condemned the acts of the former president, despite having supported him over the years.
“What Rubiales has done is regrettable… but it is something that fits with the tacky that many embraced until a few weeks ago. What makes me laugh is that from the political establishment that is getting so involved in the issue, until a month ago , they supported him to the death, even if it was only in opposition to Tebas. The gesture is unpresentable… but in a certain sense, it fits Rubiales’s personality. It is something that when I saw it did not surprise me,” he noted in his writing.
“Let’s be honest… at that awards ceremony we saw behaviors that are not common in any of the people who were there. The matter has been politicized to an extreme that is almost embarrassing… especially due to the government’s pressure on the court to proceed in one way or another. Those of us who follow football in recent years have seen how Rubiales was applauded for his weight in FIFA, saying that if we could win the World Cup it was thanks to him,” he continued.
“What makes me laugh is that now many people are full of mouths talking about the squad of last year’s players… but at the time they didn’t spend even four seconds on it,” concluded the aristocrat, in reference to the fifteen players who were They refused to participate in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand if there were no structural changes in the National Team. To those 15, another 65 were added, including the 23 world champions, waiting for there to be resignations.
Meanwhile, the Luis Rubiales case continues. This coming September 15, the former president is summoned before the judge of the National Court Francisco de Jorge to testify as being investigated. Rubiales will have to appear on Friday at 12:00, along with his lawyer, to undergo interrogation by the judge, prosecutor, Jennifer Hermoso’s defense and his own. During his statement, he will be able to explain how the events occurred, according to his point of view.
