Luis Rubiales releases new explosive statement claiming he is ‘advancing feminism’

Disgraced Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales continues to double down on his defence of kissing Jenni Hermoso despite global outrage.

Rubiales has refused to resign despite widespread backlash over his actions after Spain’s victory over England in the Women’s World Cup final.

On Friday, Rubiales said: “I am the victim of an unprecedented political and media lynching

“I have been deliberately sidelined. But I have presented all the relevant images that show the facts. That evidence will ignore opinions and clear my name.”

Rubiales, who continues to argue the kiss was consensual, also insisted he was ‘advancing the feminist cause’ and claimed his case would be significant for ‘real victims of aggression.’

Spain Women star Hermoso has confirmed the kiss was not consensual, while all of the World Cup-winning squad have threatened to resign if Rubiales remains in his post.

Sarina Wiegman and the Lionesses have joined the global opposition to Rubiales across football.
