News about Andrés Iniesta

Angeles Bejar, a retired hairdresser, launched her hunger strike yesterday morning at a church in Motril, Costa Rica, near Malaga. In a dramatic WhatsApp conversation with her religious migrant, she told a Spanish TV station, "I will remain here as long as my body remains intact." "I don't mind dying for justice because my son is a good guy, but it's not fair what they're doing." Following Spain's World Cup Women's victory over Australia last week, overnight, it was reported that she sneaked into the Divina Pastora Church near her first-story apartment home by telling a cleaner she was going to'say a prayer' for Spanish FA boss Luis Rubiales. Angeles, 72, is said to have profited from the moment the cleaning lady arrived at the church to sweep up the floor and dust down the pews. According to a Spanish local, the feisty OAP picked her time when the priest was on holiday.

A firestorm that has shown no signs of slowing down in the eight days since Spanish FA chief Luis Rubiales grabbed World Cup player Jenni Hermosa and forcibly kissed her (bottom right) in front of stunned spectators, Spain, and the world of football has dominated the event. In the saga that has dominated the Spanish team's triumph on the international stage and quickly evolved into Spain's own MeToo movement, there have been a sequence of seemingly never-ending twists and turns. Rubiales, who was also seen grabbing his crotch when Spain defeated England last Sunday, remains in his job, according to the overwhelming consensus among Spanish football and football fans as a whole. Fans and commentators alike expected him to come down with his tail between his legs last week, but Rubiales would not stop kissing Hermosa on the lips and insist repeatedly that "I will not resign." And today, the saga has grown more bizarre with Rubiales' mother Angeles Bejar (left) locked herself in a church on a hunger strike over her son's 'inhuman' treatment. An investigation into Rubiales' forcible kiss on the grounds that it could have been a criminal'sexual assault' was launched by prosecutions at Spain's highest criminal court this afternoon.' They're also looking at how Rubiales' grabbed his crotch in the royal box with Queen Letizia and her 16-year-old daughter Infanta Sofia during the match. After the Spanish FA ordered for the UEFA to consider excluding them from the tournament in a dramatic act of self-sabotage, Spanish football, super clubs Barcelona, and Real Madrid could be barred from the Champions League, another development that may have swayed their careers.
