The RFEF responds to Jenni Hermoso with new images to support Rubiales' version

The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) issued a forceful statement after midnight on Saturday to respond to Jenni Hermoso and her Futpro union with new "images" that the federative body qualifies as "conclusive evidence" and that they would demonstrate, according to the RFEF , that the facts exposed by Luis Rubiales on Friday are "absolutely true" and that he "does not lie."

In the images provided by the RFEF, it would be demonstrated, according to the federative body and Rubiales' own version, that it was the soccer player who hugged and lifted the leader from the ground before the controversial kiss on the mouth, as recounted by the still president of the Federation in the Extraordinary General Assembly on Friday.

The still president of the RFEF insisted on Friday that the kiss on the mouth was a "peak without desire or position of dominance" and that, in addition, it was "free, mutual and consented", while Jenni Hermoso, through a A harsh statement from Futpro denied that the kiss was consented to and assured that she felt "vulnerable and the victim of aggression" due to Rubiales' "impulsive, macho and out of place" act during the medal ceremony after the women's World Cup final. In addition, the RFEF announces the presentation of "legal actions" due to the "seriousness of the content" of the press release from the Futpro Union.

This is the complete statement from the RFEF with the images it provides:

The Royal Spanish Football Federation has learned of the statement made public by the Futpro union in relation to the intervention of the President of the RFEF, Mr. Luis Rubiales, on the occasion of the Extraordinary Assembly of the RFEF, which as usual , and even in the case of an Assembly of a private entity and with the desire for absolute transparency that has characterized Mr. Rubiales since his arrival, it has been broadcast live by streaming and the signal has been offered to all the media that have wanted to connect.

In the union's note, it is said to speak on behalf of Mrs. Jennifer Hermoso and some statements by the player are attributed to her that are in quotation marks, implying that they have been pronounced by her.

The RFEF wishes to inform public opinion that the competent bodies of the RFEF that are processing the complaints filed with the Federation have tried to contact Ms. Jennifer Hermoso, having been unsuccessful at all times.

The RFEF announces the presentation of as many legal actions as may correspond in defense of the honorability of the President of the RFEF who has exposed in a clear and simple way how the events that are the cause of conflict and ridicule on the part of broad sectors of the society occurred. society against Mr. President.

The note says (quotation marks attributed to Mrs. Jennifer Hermoso): "I want to clarify that, as seen in the images, at no time did I consent to the kiss he gave me and of course in no case did I seek to raise the president. I do not tolerate let my word be questioned and much less that words are invented that I have not said".

In a rule of law, as the president has defended, opinions are counteracted with facts and evidence, and lies are rebutted in court.

The president of the RFEF has wanted to take this issue with the utmost respect for the players and the institutions and only when an unassumable red line has been crossed has he come out publicly to give his version of the facts.

The President's version of events is verified in the internal files that have been opened, and to date Mrs. Jennifer Hermoso has not responded to any of the requests made.

And the first demonstration that the facts exposed by Mr. President are absolutely true and that he is not lying, we are going to begin to provide them in this statement with the images that accompany it.

Mrs. Jennifer Hermoso, with her arms, grabs the RFEF President from behind, while Mr. President has his arms loose on the upper part of the player's back. Therefore, no force could exert.

You can see how Mr. President has the heels of his feet raised slightly.

Photo 2:

Ms. Jennifer Hermoso keeps her arms around Mr. President's back. Mr. President keeps his arms on top of the player's body.

It is verified how Mr. President already has much higher heels.

Photo 3:

Ms. Jennifer Hermoso continues to keep her arms in the same position as the president's body while the president must bring his arms closer to the player's back as a result of having lifted him off the ground and to maintain balance.

The inclination of the back of Mrs. Jennifer Hermoso that occurs when she is performing an action of force is indisputable.

Mr. President's feet are clearly and manifestly lifted off the ground as a result of the action of force carried out by the player.

Photo 4:

Mrs. Jennifer Hermoso continues to keep her arms in the same position as the president's body while the president must continue to hold on to the players so as not to fall and it is evident that the arching of the player's body corresponds to the lifting force of Mr. President you are performing.

The feet of Mr. President are ostensibly raised off the ground as a result of the player's action.

The evidence is conclusive. Mr. President has not lied.

The RFEF and Mr. President will demonstrate each of the lies that are spread either by someone on behalf of the player or, if applicable, by the player herself.

The RFEF and the President, given the seriousness of the content of the press release from the Futpro Union, will initiate the corresponding legal actions.

The RFEF regrets that after such an extraordinary sporting success as the one that occurred in the Soccer World Championship, it cannot be celebrated as the situation and success deserves for completely non-sports reasons.

In any case, and as it cannot be otherwise, the RFEF respects as it has respected at all times the decisions of the players who want to participate or not with the Spanish team in international matches, although it records that participation in the selection is an obligation of all the federated people if they are called for it.
