But the gesture of the kiss, already “unacceptable” in itself, as the president of the government described it, did not stop there: the author of the events, Luis Rubiales, barely outlined an apology and minimized what happened, insisting that it had been something consented “Is a consented ‘pico’ to get me out of here?”, he questioned, making it clear that he was not going to resign for that reason, despite the fact that the country’s government and the soccer players themselves are asking for it: more than 80 signed a statement saying they would not rejoin the national team until Rubiales left office.
