After weeks of controversy, Luis Rubiales has resigned as president of the spanish football federation. It follows weeks of pressure for him to resign, after he kissed Jenni Hermoso on the lips after spains victory over england in last months world cup final. Hermoso said the kiss was not consensual. The spanish football journalist and author Guillem Balague gave me his view of how people are reacting to the resignation. Generally of celebration. At the same time, quiet celebration, because this should be the beginning of something, or at least the continuation of something. When the 81 female players decided not to join the National Team next when they get called up, said they wanted the directors to actually be removed from the federation. They werent just talking about Luis Rubiales, they were talking about systemic discrimination against women. Theres so many examples. The assembly that decides everything in the federation, 43 members, only seven women, and it goes on and on and on. So this is the beginning of something, but im sure everybody wants more now. The temporary president , pedro roca, chosen by Luis Rubiales, we should add, actually can be there until september 2024, by which time there should have been elections and there should have been a new precedent. New president. Whats interesting is that the government wants to change the law of sport to be able to. How can we put it . Manipulate or certainly have an influence, a bigger influence in the federation, that, yes, its a private institution, but with public money and public interest, which means that they will not want anything like this ever to happen again, because its been quite embarrassing.

No mention ofJenni Hermoso in his resignation letter. I spoke to a good friend of hers who says she has had no chance to celebrate. She left spain a few days ago and hours after the resignation of Luis Rubiales, she took to the field.
