After all the controversy over the kiss of Luis Rubiales, president of the Spanish Federation, to Jenni Hermoso, the footballer has come out to clarify the matter. “It has been a totally spontaneous mutual gesture due to the immense joy that winning a World Cup gives. The president and I have a great relationship, his behavior with all of us has been ten and it was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude,” he said in statements provided by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).

Hermoso wanted to clarify the moment that runs through social networks on the scene of the celebration of the historic World Cup that Spain won over England, when Rubiales kissed the forward. “You can’t dwell on a gesture of friendship and gratitude, we have won a World Cup and we are not going to deviate from what is important,” added the striker, who in a video in the dressing room, very content and happy, assured that she did not He had liked it, although there was no room for more happiness on his face for the triumph.

The kiss has been the talk of the hour after Spain’s victory, while in Australia the players either went to sleep or to party. Almost everyone has weighed in on the matter. Some have wanted to compare it with Casillas and Carbonero in the men’s World Cup, although the truth is that it has nothing to do with it and most have considered it an attitude that cannot be given. Echenique has been very hard, Pablo Iglesias has retweeted him and the last one has been Irene Montero, acting Minister of Equality. “Let’s not take for granted that kissing without consent is something that “happens”. It is a form of sexual violence that women suffer on a daily basis and up to now invisible, and that we cannot normalize. It is the task of all of society. The consent in the center. Only yes is yes”, he wrote on social networks.

Luis Rubiales, for his part, did not want to give more importance to what he considers to have been a gesture of affection, consented to, between two people who have a very good relationship. A gesture that has not bothered anyone. “The kiss with Jenni? There are idiots everywhere. When two people have an insignificant show of affection, we cannot pay attention to idiocy,” the president of the Federation assured on Radio Marca.
