Delfi : Lithuania strips an athlete of her citizenship because of Russia
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausěda signed a decree depriving figure skater Margarita Drobiatzko of citizenship.
The "Delfi" network quoted Ridas Gasiulinis, advisor to the President of Lithuania, as saying: "Today the president signed the decree (depriving Drobiatzko of citizenship)."
The Ministry of the Interior of Lithuania believes that Margarita Drubiatzko, by participating in the tournaments organized by the Olympic champion in artistic ice dancing, Tatiana Navka, the wife of the current Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, is contributing to the formation of a positive image of Russia.
On June 21, members of the Lithuanian Parliament began the process of depriving the skier of her Lithuanian citizenship. A year ago, the President of Lithuania, Drobiatzko and her partner, Povilas Vanagas, were stripped of their state awards due to their participation in a tournament in the Russian city of Sochi.
Spanish Football : For the first time after the famous "kiss" the court issues rulings regarding Rubiales and Hermoso
Former Spanish Football Federation President Luis Rubiales made his statements today, Friday, before the Supreme Court for the first time since his country won the 2023 Women's World Cup.
Media reports stated that Rubiales denied the accusations of sexual assault against him, after his kiss on the lips of the Spanish women's national team midfielder, Jennifer Hermoso, provoked her.
Despite the denial, the court issued, at the request of the prosecution, an order preventing Rubiales from approaching within 200 meters of Hermoso, while the prosecution demanded that he be removed 500 meters away.
Reports also stated that the court ordered Rubiales not to communicate with the player at all.
The Spanish Supreme Court is investigating whether or not to open an investigation after Hermoso filed a criminal complaint against him.
The Spanish prosecution took the complaint to court, accusing Rubiales of sexual assault and coercion, while the former federation president insisted that the kiss was consensual.
Reports stated that the prosecution demanded that Rubiales be required to appear in court every 15 days, to ensure that he did not leave the country, but this request was rejected by the court, in addition to its rejection of the request to freeze his property.
Jennifer Hermoso (33 years old) caused the departure of the President of the Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, from his position, as the latter submitted his resignation on Monday evening, against the backdrop of the “hot” kiss.
At the beginning of this month, Luis Rubiales was forced to announce his resignation from the position of President of the Spanish Football Federation, after a violent public reaction due to an unwanted kiss on the lips of Jennifer Hermoso, after the Spanish national team won for the first time in its history the title of champion of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. In Australia and New Zealand, he was also temporarily suspended by FIFA for a period of 90 days, pending a disciplinary investigation.
