The mother claimed that she will not end her hunger strike before her son receives a better treatment from the whole world as she claims that Luis is a victim of a witch hunt.
Rubiales received a 3-month suspension from all-football related jobs by FIFA a few days ago – while the Spanish Supreme Sports Council is also looking in opportunities to have him fired from his role as the RFEF president.
Luis refused to leave his position and resign amid his controversial kiss on the lips and claimed that he will sue everyone that tries to mess with him.
His mom told Spanish media that her hunger strike would continue “indefinitely, day and night” until her son is clearer.
