Gender issues have become a hot topic in Spain over the past few years.
Government ministers are demanding the resignation of the Spanish football federation’s president Luis Rubiales .
The incident – which happened as Luis Rubiales handed the women’s team gold medals after they beat England 1-0 in the final on Sunday – sparked outrage within and outside Spain, with many, including ministers, demanding Rubiales’ resignation. Sanchez said the federation was not part of the Spanish government, which lacked the power to appoint or fire the federation’s president.
“Hey, I didn’t like it,” she said, according to video footage posted on Instagram and YouTube by several media outlets.As criticism mounted, Rubiales issued a video apology late yesterday, after initially calling critics “idiots”.
