The President of the Government, who looks suspiciously at the evolution of the ‘Supercopa case’, will not go to Seville to witness the final of the Copa del Rey that Betis and Valencia will play this Saturday, as confirmed by this newspaper with sources from the Administration . Pedro Sánchez, who is closely following the information that ‘El Confidencial’ is publishing, will send the Minister of Culture, Miquel Iceta, and the Secretary of State for Sport, José Manuel Franco, to the box at the La Cartuja stadiumwho this Tuesday, in conversation with AS, has revealed the Government’s position on the matter: “The Piqué thing is not ethical or aesthetic,” he said.
On the other hand, according to reliable sources, Felipe VI is very upset by the latest audios of the ‘Supercopa case’ in which Piqué suggests Luis Rubiales ask Juan Carlos I to mediate before the Arabian monarchy to get the Spanish Super Cup there. In any case, the presence of Felipe VI on Saturday in Seville is taken as an institutional obligation beyond the scandalalthough we will have to wait until the last minute for confirmation of the King’s presence by the Royal House.
On the other hand, the senator from Compromis, Carles Mulet, has requested the appearances in parliamentary headquarters of both the President of the Federation, Luis Rubiales, and the Minister of Sports, Miquel Icetabecause he believes it is essential “to carry out the necessary inspections to check whether irregular commission payments were made and to open a rigorous, serene and efficient debate based on the values of sport and not the economic oligopoly or commissions, values that are alien to sportsmanship and fairness play”.
In any case, the ‘Super Cup case’ is becoming a tsunami for the Federation, which sees the scandal broke out just the week of the Copa del Rey final, the institution’s flagship competition and a must for Felipe VI.
