Angeles Bejar says she will not eat until the 'witch hunt' for her son ends.
An emergency assembly was called last Friday in which Rubiales was expected to resign, but instead he gave an astonishing speech in which he hit out at his critics andThe RFEF later revealed they would be taking legal action against Hermoso and accused her of ‘lying’ about her version of events, even presenting images they claimed showed she had instigated the interaction and lifted the federation president off his feet.
That has only prompted further disgust towards the Spanish FA, with the players – who were celebrating the biggest victory of their careers barely a week ago – refusing to play while Rubiales remains and the entire coaching staff, save for controversial manager Jorge Vilda, resigning. Now yet another twist has been added to the events, with reports in Spain claiming Angeles Bejar, the mother of Rubiales, has declared a hunger strike until a solution is found to the ‘inhumane and bloody witch hunt they are doing to my son’., pensioner Bejar and her sister snuck into the church of the Divina Pastora de Motril in Granada on Monday morning after the priest had left and are refusing to leave.
‘There is no sexual aggression because there was consent by both parties,’ she continued. ‘My son is incapable of harming anyone. As a mother I ask everyone for their understanding as this is a situation that could affect anyone.’ It is unclear if police will be called to the church to resolve the situation, but there will be further updates to the Rubiales affair on Monday afternoon with the RFEF having called another emergency meeting.
