In less than an hour, the presidents of the territories were summoned, in person and online, at the request of the acting president and president of Pedro Rocha from Extremadura.
There are several scenarios that can happen. The first that Pedro Rocha was able to unite several territorial groups that are currently divided, as evidenced last Friday when Luis Rubiales fired all the vice presidents, leaving only Pedro Rocha to, as the RFEF did, on the same Saturday, he assumes the presidency as stated in article 31 of the Statutes: “In cases of absence, illness or any other reason that temporarily prevents him from performing his duties, the President shall be replaced by the Vice Presidents, in their order; in their absence, by the Treasurer and, ultimately, by the member with the most seniority. of the Board of Directors, or by the oldest if that is the same”.
But, within this division between territories, there are those who understand that this Friday assignment is illegal. Both the dismissals made by Luis Rubiales and only Pedro Rocha was left. The man from Extremadura can ask this afternoon, in the spirit of consensus, that it be adopted by all his colleagues and later by the Board of Directors, also according to the same laws, and what affects the functioning of the body that this:
“The appointment of the Second Vice President to the Presidency shall be made by a person holding the status of a member of the General Assembly and the holder of the position shall replace the President in case of absence, illness or the like”. to be recognized as president in accordance with the criteria of the directive.
Another option that cannot be left is that, if Pedro Rocha sees that he does not have this consensus from the presidents, he can make his position as interim president available to his colleagues. In this case, it will be necessary to see who will replace him and always starting with the legality or not of the measures adopted by Luis Rubiales before the General Assembly on Friday where he announced that he is not resigning. .
According to the standard, “He will be replaced by the Vice Presidents, in their order; in their absence, the Treasurer and, ultimately, the most senior member of the Board of Directors”. And this could lead to putting the treasurer in charge or any of the vice presidents who were dismissed on Friday, based on this possible illegality.
And then there is the role of Secretary General, Andreu Camps. There are territorial presidents who think that it is pointless, will not change anything, if the day-to-day work of the federation cannot be changed. Work that falls on the figure of the secretary himself and person of total confidence of Luis Rubiales.
A position “appointed by the president and reporting directly to him.” And Andreu Camps has the “executive direction of the RFEF”. He is appointed and dismissed by the president himself.
