Mother of Luis Rubiales 'willing to die' on hunger strike if Jenni Hermoso doesn't 'stop lying'
Yes, this is another story about the Spanish Football Federation president Luis Rubiales.
The mother of Spanish Football Federation president Luis Rubiales has gone on a hunger strike in protest against her son's treatment. Angeles Bejar has been locked herself up in a church for 24 hours and says she is willing to die if "justice" is not restored for her son.
Bejar is protesting against the way her son has been treated following his unsolicited kiss on the lips of Spain Women international Jenni Hermoso during the World Cup win celebrations. Hermoso initially defended Rubiales in a statement but later claimed she had been pressured into it.
According to Spanish football reporter Colin Millar, Bejar has sent Spanish TV the following WhatsApp message: "I will remain here for as much time as my body can.
"I am willing to die for justice because my son is a decent person and it’s not fair what they’re doing."
Bejar also confirmed her intention not to eat 'indefinitely, day and night' as she expects Jenni Hermiso to 'stop lying and revert to her original statement'.
Jenni Hermoso is the Spain Women international whom Rubiales kissed on her lips during the World Cup win celebrations.
Hermoso initially defended Rubiales in a statement but later claimed she had been pressured into it.
