Jon Uriarte conducted an assessment of the Assembly shortly after half past three in the morning. The Athletic president and his Board accomplished all their proposals. “We are very happy to advance all the points. We continue to have the support of the social masses, it is reflected in the votes. We did not like the high abstention from the first point and it increased in the following,” he said.
The businessman tried to find the reasons for this high abstention: “It was the eve of a holiday, the Assembly lasted a long time, a brutality (it started at 7:15 pm and ended at 3:30 am) . There was a trickle of people who left. Being self-critical, we should think about whether the voting system is the best to achieve high participation. With the change in the Laws, each of the points should be vote separately.” Interventions are also numerous. Uriarte He considers it a sign of the club’s good health.
At the end of the Assembly, the debate was raised on changing the philosophy so that Basque children born outside Euskadi could play. “A year ago there were elections and none of the candidates had a change in philosophy. We who won, we did not think about it. These types of debates are provided for in the Laws. If there is a group of partners who want to request them, they have the mechanisms to do it. If it happens, we will be happy to work together,” he said.
At one point in his speech, the top leader mentioned the challenge of renewing players whose contracts expire in 2024 within the club’s economic parameters: “The word challenge has a level of complexity. The level of uncertainty is associated with all types of arrangements. “We are confident of getting players who are out of contract to continue with us for more seasons.” One of them is Nico Williams.
The budget for this season, estimated at 133 million euros, was approved by a smaller margin than last season, which was also prepared by its work group. Jon Uriarte did not attach importance to this information. “Yes, there was a difference but not a big one. We continue to rely on the support of the masses of society. All the points were approved by a large margin, I don’t think there was any kind of wear or lack of support from the partners,” he concluded.
