âAfter FIFA’s suspension, in addition to all the other cases opened against me, it is clear that I cannot return to my position. Insisting on waiting and holding on will not contribute to anything positive, neither for the Federation nor for Spanish football. Among other things, because there are de facto powers that will prevent my return,â said Luis Rubiales.

The hunger strike began inside the Divina Pastora church in Motril, Spain, after a few days, she was taken to Santa Ana hospital due to dehydration.
During the days in which Angeles Bejar decided to carry out the protest, in an interview with reporters, a local priest known as Padre Antonio reported that the woman was feeling âtired and stressedâ. The former coach’s mother reported that the event at the end of the World Cup was consented to by Jenni Hermoso and asked the athlete to tell the truth.
