Oh, they are people of passion in Spain, is that why the women do not shave their armpits? This mornings News, the people of Madrid were surveyed on the subject and the overwhelming response was in support of Rubiales.It's not getting any better unfortunately...
The mother of shamed Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales has locked herself inside a church and gone on hunger strike in support of her son.
Angeles Bejar demanded an end to the 'inhumane witch-hunt' after he kissed Spain player Jenni Hermoso on the lips following their Women's World Cup triumph.
Rubiales refused to stand down as president of the Spanish football federation but has been provisionally suspended by world football's governing body FIFA.
Bejar, a former hairdresser, has locked herself in the Divina Pastora church in Motril, east of Malaga in southern Spain, and started an 'indefinite, day and night' hunger strike until 'justice is served.'
Bejar demanded that Hermoso 'tell the truth' after the player insisted the kiss wasn't consensual, in contrast to Rubiales' account.
As reported by Marca, she asked 'why are they being so cruel to him' and 'what is behind the story' since 'he is incapable of harming anyone.'
Rubiales grew up in Motril, in the Andalucia region, and visited there for a holiday over the weekend. Angeles' husband is the resort's former mayor.
It comes as the Spanish football federation holds another urgent meeting over Rubiales' future in his post.
Luis Rubiales' cousin Vanesa Ruiz Bejar, speaking on behalf of her family, said outside the church: 'The statement I'm about to make is extremely difficult.
'My name is Vanesa Ruiz Bejar and I'm Luis Rubiales' cousin.
'There's a campaign of harassment occurring that is very unfair.
'Luis' mum who is a very religious person has sought refuge in God and started a hunger strike.
'She doesn't want to come out of the church. We are all suffering a lot because of what's happened to Luis which doesn't seem at all fair to us.
'He's been condemned already without being tried. It's not normal. We won't to be left alone. The facts speak for them, there are videos, there are audio recordings.'
In a direct message to Hermoso, she added: 'Jenni, say the truth.'
'Why has she changed her version three times? We have suffered a lot, we have had to leave our homes because of the harassment we're suffering.
'We won't to be left alone and see justice done and we want this woman to tell the truth. Jenni, 'tell the truth!'
