The Spanish government started legal proceedings aiming to suspend Rubiales for his actions after the World Cup final, the BBC has reported.
The secretary of sport went one step further and said he wanted this “to be Spanish football’s Me Too moment”.
Spain’s acting labour minister Yolanda Diaz said: “What we have seen today in the Federation Assembly is unacceptable. The Government must act and take urgent measures. Impunity for macho actions is over. Rubiales cannot continue in office.”
A number of clubs, organisations and players from Spain have spoken out, including Hermoso’s teammate Alexia Putellas.
She said: “There are limits that cannot be crossed and we cannot tolerate this. We are with you, partner.”
