Libertad VCF is pushing to ‘cut’ Peter Lim

The Association Freedom VCF This Monday, he requested that the Valencia City Council condition the signature of the agreement with Valencia CF regarding the Nou Mestalla and the current stadium where the club’s largest shareholder, Peter Lim, wrote sell your shares to the club’s fans to “democratize” the entity.

“The City Council is in its hands solve everything. You can give the agreement, but in the agreement you agree to Meriton (Lim’s company) your exit from shareholding. That’s the good proposal: ‘we allow you to build the stadium, we allow you to do business selling shares, but you promise yourself in writing to a solution that allows democratization Valencia’. They promised to sell their share package to the Valencians, so we can get the club back and Peter Lim becomes history“said José Pérez, one of the directors of the association.

Pérez made these statements to the media after meeting with the councilor of the City Council José Marí Olano, that Mayor María José Catalá instructed to negotiate with Valencia CF the continuation of works from the stadium, a meeting where he said they left unsatisfied.

“We were very worried and we left very worried. It was two hour meeting and we were very surprised by the lack of knowledge about many topics: about the sales process; about how he dwarfed the club’s shareholders and the Valencia fans in successive capital increases; about the financial situation of the club or what it means to present the city of Valencia as a venue for world and if the City Council has to personally endorse the implementation deadlines for the new Mestalla,” said Pérez.

The Libertad VCF representative reiterated his surprise that an agreement was being prepared that would mean benefits for the club without knowing these issues in depth. Instead he said he believed in Marí Olano’s version that there were no negotiations with Valencia and only a meeting was held about it with the lawyer Germán Cabrera, although the director of institutional relations of Valencia said that there were only a few details left to close the deal.

“I tend to believe people who talk to me face to face and look me in the eyes and Mari Olano He told me that he had made no arrangements with Valencia. One of two lies and I, faced with Javier Solís’ resume of lies, believe José Mari Olano,” he explained.

Pérez said that the councilor “indicated” that Valencia does not necessarily present guarantees for the full budget that will be needed to finish the stadium and pointed out that it “concerns” them about “the continue of disobedience that Meriton has.”

Lim’s opponent insisted that everything was “in the hands” of María José Catalá. “It depends on what policy the Popular Party wants to do in the City Council and the city ​​of Valencia. It has two paths, copying the rules of the pitch, of the sales process and the constant making of politics by meeting in the offices in Madrid, where on both sides of the table there are no Valencians or people who understand the Valencian problem. Society is suffering. Valencia either has the possibility to make a new policy, that’s how I think those who voted for them, “he said.

Pérez was upset that Catalá said his liberal ideology was holding him back “intervene and help to reclaim Valencia by Valencian society.” “When someone uses ideology it’s because they don’t have arguments. When someone talks about ideologies and not arguments, it’s because they don’t have arguments,” he concluded.
