Angeles Bejar has ended her hunger strike in support of her son, Royal Spanish Football Federation president Luis Rubiales, after going to the hospital on Wednesday.
She began the hunger strike on Monday to back Rubiales, who has received widespread criticism from politicians, soccer players, and other members of his own family since he forcibly kissed Jennifer Hermoso during the trophy ceremony following the Women’s World Cup final on Aug. 20. Bejar described the treatment of her son as “inhuman” and locked herself in a small church in the Spanish town of Motril for the strike.
