With banners, red cards, chants and under the motto: “It’s not a kiss, it’s an attack” or “Jenni, we’re with you”, the people of Barcelona have painted Plaça Sant Jaume purple and red to highlight the demands of a sport free of sexist violence and denounce the acts of the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales.
After defeating Sweden in the World Cup semifinals, Jorge Vilda He celebrated the pass to the final and encouraged the players before the most important event of their careers: “We have put a country on its feet and now the next thing is to get them all out on the street,” he assured his players with euphoria.
Neither the coach nor Luis Rubiales himself, present at Vilda’s victorious words, had the slightest intuition that winning the World Cup would be covered up by the controversy of the rubiales kiss To Jenni Hermoso. And yes, people have listened to Vilda and have taken to the streets, but not to celebrate but to denounce.
Plaça Sant Jaume in Barcelona has not been filled. However, the continuous speeches by the members of the ‘Unitary Platform against Gender Violence’, the platform that called the demonstration, have contributed to the influx of people in front of Barcelona City Hall.
Criticism of the TAD
The voices in charge of carrying out the speeches have wanted to show their support for Jenni Hermoso at all times. Nor have they wanted to miss the opportunity to denounce the few measures that are carried out in Spain in the face of this type of event.
That is why the Administrative Court of Sport (TAD) has been a protagonist in the demonstration due to its qualification of ‘serious’ and not ‘very serious’ regarding Rubiales’ behavior in the celebration of the World Cup.
With red cards and chants of “Rubiales guilty, responsible system”, Barcelona wanted to point out the management team of the RFEF, the TAD and the judicial system as the main culprits for this type of event continuing to occur in Spain.
