A mother's love

The Spanish FA president's mother claimed an "inhumane and bloody hunt is undergoing, targeting my son with something he does not deserve." Luis Rubiales has been under fire from all sides following his kissing scandal during the World Cup final.

A hunt?

With these words, as reported by the EFE Agency, Ángeles Béjar, mother of Luis Rubiales, has described the situation that the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) is experiencing.

Unexpected decision

When it seemed that this Monday's meeting at the RFEF would monopolize the media spotlight, Béjar surprised locals and strangers with an unexpected decision.

Hunger strike

In addition, Ángeles Béjar has mainained she will be on an indefinite hunger strike for the duration of her confinement, in which she will be accompanied by her sister and Luis Rubiales' aunt.

Demands on Jenni Hermoso

To overthrow her decision, the mother of the former RFEF president demands Jenni Hermoso tell the truth about what happened around the kiss scandal after winning the World Cup final.

Conflicting version of events

Ángeles Béjar wants Jenni Hermoso to "maintain her original statement," when she publically acknowledges what happened regarding the kiss.

Uncertainty

Béjar's dramatic actions come after her son was suspended for 90 days by FIFA, awaiting a decision on his role in the RFEF following the controversial incident at the Women's World Cup.

A lot of support for Jenni

On the other hand, more and more voices are joining Jenni Hermoso's stance, both nationally and internationally.

From Albacete to Hollywood

Spanish athletes such as Andrés Iniesta and Pau Gasol were quick to support the footballer, while Hollywood celebrities have also weighed in over the weekend. Most recently, Natalie Portman shared an article from the 'New York Times' condemning the actions on her Instagram account.
