Luis Rubiales announced on Friday that he would not resign as president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), despite reports in the Iberian press that he would submit his mandate.

An Iberian official stressed that the kiss with Jenny Hermoso at the World Cup was consensual and condemned “fake feminism”.

Luis Rubiales apologized to those who felt offended by his behavior.

“I’ve never acted like that before,” he said. “Emotions were unbearable. It was a spontaneous, mutual, euphoric kiss of consent. This is the key. Yes, it was agreed,” Luis Rubiales, claiming he could kiss his daughters in the same way.

“The desire I could have when I kissed that kiss was the same desire I could have when I kissed my daughter, there was no dominance.

A social crime is being committed. They are trying to kill me. As a Spaniard, I think we have to think about where we are going.

The lesson my daughters need to learn today is that equality means knowing the difference between truth and lies. You are the real feminism, not the fake feminism that is out there,” Rubiales said.

After naming the ministers and public figures who accused him, Rubiales said he would file complaints against them.

“For those who want to publicly kill me, I will defend myself in court. I will file complaints against these people.”

“I will not resign, I will not resign. Will a consensual kiss make me leave? Let’s get serious! I will fight until the end. By the end of. I hope the law will be applied,” he added, quoted by News.ro.

Spain won the Women’s World Cup with a 1-0 victory over England on Sunday, August 20, in the final at Sydney’s Olympic Stadium.
