The kiss happened as Luis Rubiales, the president of the Spanish soccer federation, distributed gold medals among the team following their 1-0 victory over England on Sunday. "It was mutual gesture that was totally spontaneous prompted by the huge joy of winning a world cup," the statement said."The 'presi' and I have a great relationship, his behaviour with all of us has always been 10 and this was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude."
A non-consensual kiss is"a kind of sex violence we suffer all women daily, which was until now invisible, and which we cannot normalise", acting Gender Equality Minister Irene Montero said on the X social network, formerly known as Twitter.
