And that has been related to this package of measures.
a very strong backlash from Elon Musk.
I think now what we're waiting for is a more measured response to see what the other social media companies are going to say about this.
We would expect them to push back against it, but the question will be, how exactly do they push back against it?
It's a pleasure, Guy.
Very soon after the kiss took place, there was a very strong backlash against Mr Rubiales back here in Spain. A social backlash. There were people taking to the streets to protest against him and to demand that he be removed as president of the federation. There were politicians who waded into this. We heard Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez speaking there.

But there were other politicians from across the political spectrum who also spoke out, almost all of them criticizing Mr. Rubiales. And overall, there was a feeling that this had really overshadowed a major achievement by the women's team.

It's come to trial because the public prosecutor decided there was a case here. There was an investigation carried out into this by the investigating judge to decide whether this could go to trial. The judge decided that there was enough evidence to put Mr. Rubialis on trial, not just for sexual assault, for that kiss that he gave Jenny Edmondson,

but also for coercion, for allegedly trying to force Jenny de Maussan to support his version of events, to try and make her say that there was consent when he kissed her, when she had said there wasn't.

So he's going on trial for those two charges, and there are also three other men, three other former members of the Federation, allies of Mr Rubialis, who will also be facing those coercion charges as well.
