There are few people left in Spain who have not taken a position regarding the issue of Luis Rubiales. The former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation kissed the player Jennifer Hermoso without his consent after the Spanish women’s soccer team won the World Cup final in Australia, an action that left millions of spectators around the world in shock. world.
The issue has generated great controversy in our country, since all the soccer players of the National Team released a joint statement expressing that they would not play again if exemplary measures were not taken. Some male players also expressed their disagreement with the manager’s attitude and resigned from playing for the Spanish team again as long as he remained in charge.
But the controversy and media coverage of the Rubiales case was not only born from the kiss he gave the player, but his attitude when he had to give explanations at a press conference also had a lot to do with it. Rubiales blamed ‘false feminism’ and said that she did not regret anything, something that generated endless criticism. Furthermore, she supported her speech by saying that she did have Hermoso’s consent, something that she quickly denied.
In recent weeks, countless celebrities and public figures have taken a stand on the issue (Iztiar Castro, Fernando Tejero, Nacho Cano, etc.) and have left some controversial responses that have turned the Internet upside down. This is what has now happened to the artist Andrés Calamaro. The singer held a concert last Saturday in Mérida as part of the Stone festival
“I’ll be back in four and a half years. I’ll be back, we’ll be back the day Rubiales and Jennifer can get closer than 200 meters,” he said in relation to the Prosecutor’s Office’s request to maintain for a time the restraining order against the young athlete and his alleged attacker.
Far from cutting himself off, Calamaro continued with his ironic speech and talked about Amaral and his protest action by showing his chest during his concert at the Sonorama Festival to end censorship: ”We will return with Eva de Amaral showing her pears and Rubi with a lot hair, just arrived from Turkey”.
The author’s farewell in the Extremaduran city has generated a wave of comments and criticism on the Internet in which hundreds of people have joined to express that certain topics should not be spoken lightly about, since there are victims who have gone through it. wrong and sensitivities can be hurt.
”For everyone to be so macho, don’t see how much they cry for what happens to others”, ”Let’s see if people stop buying tickets to see this fraud. Since he stopped being what he was, he now seeks controversy so that people can talk about him. Pathetic” or ”Poor Roman theater in Mérida, what it has to endure between theatrical season and theatrical season…” are some of the messages that can be read on the Internet.
