Spain's government has initiated legal proceedings with the intention to suspend soccer federation chief Luis Rubiales following his act of kissing World Cup star Jenni Hermoso on the lips after Spain's World Cup victory. An official confirmed this development on Friday.

Despite growing pressure and demands for his resignation, Rubiales remained steadfast in his refusal to step down. This stance intensified the frustration of players and government officials alike, who condemned his actions as an inappropriate display of macho behavior.

Victor Francos, the head of the state-run National Sports Council, announced in a news conference on Friday that the government has taken action. The procedure involves requiring Mr. Rubiales to provide explanations before the Sport Court. Should the Sport Court concur, the government is prepared to suspend Mr. Rubiales from his role.

This legal action underscores the seriousness of the situation and the government's commitment to addressing the issue with accountability and adherence to proper conduct.
