PAN has accused the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) of underestimating a case involving the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and a Spanish international, and is demanding the government speak out.
In a message addressed to the President of the Assembly of the Republic, as well as the Deputy Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, the People-Animals-Nature Party begins by saying that this Saturday is International Women’s Equality Day, a date that aims to celebrate women’s achievements, “but There is no doubt that effective equality still has a long way to go.”
Then, citing the controversy that has engulfed the world of women’s football, especially in Spain, PAN demands that the government speak out on the “devaluation”, as it writes in a statement, of the FPF in this case.
“What is the government’s position on the FPF’s devaluation of the prosecution of RFEF president Luis Rubiales and Spanish player Jenny Hermoso?” asks PAN.
For PAN, the “lack of stance of condemnation” by the Portuguese federation is “serious” and the party wants the ministry to communicate what measures it intends to take to “ensure that the Portuguese sports organizations take such cases with due seriousness”. “.
Recalling that Portugal and Spain, along with Morocco, are candidates to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup, PAN asks the tutelage how it will ensure that the FPF “properly represents the values of gender equality.”
At the heart of this controversy is an episode involving Luis Rubiales and Jenny Hermoso.
The President of the Spanish Federation kissed the Spanish national team player on the lips after the Spanish national team won the world title.
Several figures, athletes and associations associated with football demanded the resignation of Rubiales, who said he would not resign.
Secretary of State and President of Spain’s Supreme Council of Sports, Victor Francos, filed a complaint against Rubiales with the Administrative Court and said it was obvious to the government that the divorce from the current federation president was obvious.
On Friday, Jenny Hermoso rebutted the RFEF president’s story, saying that she “in the blink of an eye” agreed to a kiss that she received on the lips, and, along with the world champions, announced that she was refusing the draft.
On Thursday, an FPF official questioned by Lusa downplayed the impact of the disagreement on the joint candidacy of Portugal, Spain, Ukraine and Morocco.
“A candidacy for the 2030 World Cup is a project that is above any person or position,” the same source said.
