The Government activates the route before the sports court for the suspension: "He cannot continue in office"

The president of the Higher Sports Council (CSD), Víctor Francos, announced this Friday that this government body will denounce the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, before the Administrative Court of Sport (TAD) after having announced that he does not resign because of the kiss on the lips that he gave to the player Jenni Hermoso after the victory in the World Cup.

Francos has declared himself surprised by Rubiales' decision to remain in office, despite the social and political condemnation and the file opened by Fifa: "Today was the day to send a forceful message to apologize, assume responsibilities, but I didn't has done, and the government is going to act".

Francos has specified that the complaint will be made "urgently" and has explained that "we cannot disqualify him, we can suspend him from his functions; let no one doubt the forcefulness with which we are going to act."

Regarding the speech given by Rubiales in which he attacked feminism and announced complaints against the acting ministers Yolanda Díaz, Irene Montero and Ione Belarra, he said that the president of the CSD seemed "out of reality" and that for this reason "We open the procedure urgently, and with the urgency that the TAD responds, we will respond. The only certain path that has been opened now is that the Government will be forceful," he concluded.

The acting Vice President of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, has indicated that the Government must take "urgent measures" against Rubiales, who "cannot continue in office" after his "unacceptable" speech and the "embarrassment" he is giving.

In his account of the social network X (formerly Twitter), Díaz, who was very critical of Rubiales and asked for his resignation since the controversy broke out, has indicated that the president of the RFEF "still does not know where he is or what he has done He is not up to the job. He must resign now and save us the embarrassment."

In the same network, the acting Minister for Equality, Irene Montero, has said that "silence has not worked and it will not work to discredit the victim, their support networks and the feminist social demand for the guarantee of the right to freedom sexual. Only yes is yes."

Likewise, the acting Minister of Social Rights, Ione Belarra, wanted to make it clear that "consent is not decided by the aggressor, it is decided by the woman" and has charged against Rubiales' "violent and "mafioso" discourse that "does not It will work against a country that has already changed." "Everybody already knows the kind of man he is," she added.
