The controversy over the non-consensual kiss of Luis Rubiales to the player Jennifer Hermoso has turned 180 degrees after learning that the mother of the president of the RFEF has started an indefinite hunger strike and has locked herself in a church in Motril, a city Rubiales’ birthplace.
Ángeles Béjar demands justice for her son and that Hermoso “tell the truth” about what she experienced at the celebration of the women’s soccer world championship of the Spanish National Team. In this way, the scandal that already reaches international dimensions also involves the Rubiales family, although it is not the first time that the relatives of the former soccer player have been involved in the controversy.
The program Así es la vida, from Telecinco, has reviewed the other occasions in which the relatives of Luis Rubiales have been in the eye of the hurricane. It is about “a clan that has already starred in scandals more than once,” according to the space presented by Sandra Barneda.
Luis Manuel Rubiales, father of the still president of the Federation, was mayor of Motril for two legislatures. Belonging to the PSOE, the politician has starred in several media appearances during his tenure in the town, between 1995 and 2003. Later he became Delegate of Employment of the Junta de Andalucía in Granada, a position in which he was related to the case of the ERE that splashed the autonomous community and for which the Prosecutor’s Office requested 3 years in prison and 8 years of disqualification from public office.
