The mom of Spanish soccer boss Luis Rubiales, suspended for forcibly kissing a participant throughout Spain’s World Cup triumph, was taken to hospital Wednesday, the third day of her starvation strike.
Angeles Bejar, who started her protest in opposition to her son’s therapy contained in the Divina Pastora church within the southern seaside city of Motril, was evacuated and brought to hospital by the emergency companies, parish priest Antonio Rodriguez advised reporters.
“I have to tell you that she had a seizure and had to be rushed to hospital. She is no longer here,” mentioned the priest, including that Angeles Bejar was “tired, with many (health) problems, and not just anaemia”.
Rubiales’ mom had promised to remain locked up within the church till Jenni Hermoso, the participant who was kissed on the mouth by her son, “tells the truth” about what occurred, a member of the family defined.
“This harassment is not fair. His mother, who is very religious, found refuge with God. She has started a hunger strike and does not want to leave the church”, her niece Vanessa Ruiz Bejar mentioned on Monday.
Contacted by AFP, Motril hospital wouldn’t verify that she had been admitted as a affected person.
Rubiales, 46, grew up in Motril and his father was the resort city’s former mayor.
FIFA suspended him on Saturday after he forcefully kissed Hermoso on the mouth after Spain received the Women’s World Cup in Australia on August 20, sparking an outcry.
