Luis Rubiales refused to resign his position and will continue as president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), despite the scandal that he starred in during the celebration of the women’s world champion title won by Spain in which he kissed the player Jenny Hermoso on the lips.
The 46-year-old leader ruled out resigning during a speech in which he considered himself the victim of what he described as a “social murder”. In addition, he defined the kiss he gave to the player Jenni Hermoso as “consensual and mutual”as published by the sports newspaper AS.

The president began by apologizing for his gesture in the box: «I want to apologize without conditions for the events that occurred in the box. In a moment of euphoria in which I grabbed my parts. But I want to look at Vilda. I lost control, you looked at the box and you dedicated the victory to me and I gave you the ‘ole your eggs’ sign. I apologize to the Royal House, the queen and the infanta. It is an unedifying fact. My sincerest apologies. I don’t justify myself,” she said.
About the kiss, Rubiales argued: «The desire that I could have in that kiss was the same as the one that I could have kissing one of my daughters. Therefore, there is no desire and there is no position of dominance, even if it is being sold in the media. It was spontaneous, mutual and euphoric. And, above all, consented ».
His exhibition ended with an unexpected announcement: «The time has come to say something. Do you think that it is a reason to suffer the hunt that I am suffering? Is it serious enough for me to leave? “I am not going to resign, I am not going to resign, I am not going to resign…!
