HEALTH SPAIN -10 BAYERN MÜNCHEN -0
During the dinner celebration at the Palace Hotel, several Bayern Munchen leaders broke the Spanish smoke-free law by smoking inside the hotel:
“Then Franz Beckenbauer had already retired to his chamber. "I need a beer: I've been running 120 minutes," laughing, the honorary president of Bayern at the celebration. There was cold beer, served by waitresses dressed in traditional German Bavarian costumes, but it was a very special night and the executives of Bayern, at the head table, also tried some powerful cigars. Kaiser Beckenbauer gave away smiles, autographs, and photos while smoking a cigar. Also competing in the art of smoking was another German, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Both of them were violating the Spanish smoke-free law, much to the dismay of the hotel servers. “Of course it's prohibited, but some respect that and others do not", repeated one of them.

Facing this fact, health professionals and members of the grassroots movement XQNS in defense of both public health and the Spanish smoke-free law are asking the sports institution Bayer of Munich and its leaders to make a public apology, first to the hotel employees of Palace Hotel Madrid, then to all Spanish citizens who are exemplary in complying with this law, and especially Spanish young people who have witnessed a very bad example from Bayern Munich for this behavior.
It is NECESSARY for Bayern Munich and UEFA, a serious reflection and a public explanation for this significant event in such a prestigious football club.
