This Monday soccer collegiate and assistants gave their version of the current battle and their failure that appeared this past weekend on the first day of the new professional women’s league.
All the referees and collegiate members were there. They are from the first division Hernandez Hernandez and the man from Madrid Charles of Big Hill as referees and Churches in Villanueva González González together from the VAR specific team.
They are at the table Yolanda Pargafemale referee responsible in addition to female referees Marta Huerta de Azathe professional assistant Guadalupe Porras and the collegiate too Marta Frias Acedo.
took the floor Martha Huerta, an international college that would like to “thank RFREF for the support it has given us, as well as all colleagues for their expressions of love. And also from CTA who supported us like many players and teams. Both UEFA and FIFA are also behind this goal”.
Martha made it clear that “The decision is ours, the referees and assistants in this category. Our independence is the most sacred thing we have. It is unbearable that they say we allow ourselves to be manipulated. We want to tell the league that we have chosen our representatives and this is the RFEF. We invite you to come here to negotiate.”
In these negotiations we were informed at all times. We are not the ones who block the football. Because now, because now it’s the professional competition”
“Only Jose Manuel Franco spoke. He is asking for employment status and minimum wage. What the league offers does not even reach the minimum salary of 14,000 euros. We apologize for the problems we have caused today.”
They want a salary of fifty thousand euros per season
Guadalupe PorrasPrimera’s Spanish international assistant, clarified the question of how much women’s refereeing costs:
“How much dignity is an athlete? Just to say that what we want is a sixth of the referees of the First Division (300,000) and a third of the referees of the Second Division. (140,000 euros). It is not true what is said about the quantity”. This represents an amount of fifty thousand euros per year. Porras himself recalled the 5 million LPFF receives from CSD.
Marta Frias emphasized the message that “We have not paralyzed women’s football. It is not 21,000 euros, it will be progressive. We also demand some rights. All that involves a contract we don’t have. I have been in arbitration for 21 years and I have not been quoted a single day”.
They all made it clear that “with 3,300 euros, we can do very little”. But they all indicated their desire to start arbitration and try to reach an agreement.
They are not going to the meeting this afternoon
Marta Frías clarified that they will not attend this Monday’s summons in the CSD with the LPFF: “Do you think we will meet with someone who criticizes and threatens us?”
Guadalupe Porras followed this same line: “How can we sit with someone who paints our faces?”
So that Marta Huerta can attend “It is outside the legality that we are going to negotiate. We could expose ourselves to an international sanction.”
Yolanda Parga revealed that the LPFF is sending complaints
Nor will they go to whistle the Copa de la Reina
Since Marta Huerta de Aza left, the referees will not go to “referee in the Copa de la Reina without an agreement”. Because he insisted that it would be effective in all competitions. The competition begins tomorrow with 16 elimination rounds between 32 teams from the First and Second national women’s divisions. Guadalupe made it clear that they do the same job in the League, Cup, etc.
