After three days of hunger strike Rubiales' mother is admitted to hospital

The Luis Rubiales' mother Angeles Bejar been rushed to hospital after suffering a 'panic attack', 'abandoning' the third day of her hunger strike over the 'kissgate' scandal.

The parish priest at the church in Motril, southern Spain, where she was staging the protest confirmed the news, saying she had been rushed to hospital 'as a matter of urgency'.

Earlier Wednesday evening, Father Antonio told the waiting media that Bejar would speak at 6.15 pm local time. It was not until 20 minutes after she was due to speak that he came out to give the dramatic update.

'Angeles has been taken as a matter of urgency to the Sant Ana hospital after suffering a health crisis, a panic attack,' he revealed.

'The discomfort was due to high temperatures and other factors. She had swelling in her feet and obvious signs of fatigue. In addition, she was remarkably nervous.'

The mother of the embattled football federation president announced she would abstain from eating earlier this week due to what she described as the 'inhuman' treatment of her son.

Supporters of Bejar have gathered outside the church with flowers and placards urging the devoted mother to stay strong

Wednesday was the third day of her hunger strike and her admission to the hospital came just 24 hours after she had defiantly said she would remain inside the 17th-century church 'until she dropped'.

It is now uncertain whether she will continue with her strike, with Father Antonio adding: 'She won't be coming back here even when she has recovered.'

'She left at about 6.15 pm via a back door of the church.

'She still wasn't eating and was just drinking water and isotonic drinks but my understanding is she'll have to break her hunger strike now.

'I don't know if she is being accompanied by relatives now and how she got to hospital because I didn't see an ambulance.

'But Luis Rubiales spoke to her before she went and between various relatives,

they decided Angeles should go to hospital.

'She's an elderly lady. Her feet were already swollen but things got worse this afternoon and she became very nervous. She won't be coming back here even if she gets better.'
