Riquelme: “We will ask the judge to withdraw his decision”

The directive of Boca Juniors will seek the annulment of the judicial decision that suspended the club’s elections this Tuesday, scheduled for December 3, as announced by its vice president, Juan Roman Riquelme. The candidate for the president of the ‘xeneize’ entity appeared in a press conference at the Alberto J. Armando Stadium, ‘La Bombonera’, together with the representative of the club, Walter Rodríguez, to explain that they will ask to keep the election for the next sunday

Meanwhile, around the Auriazul field there was a huge gathering of fans supporting the Boca idol. “We will ask the judge to review his decision, withdraw it. We believe we have enough time to withdraw it and to vote on Sunday,” Rodríguez declared.

Under the directive’s standards, the scheme is seriously flawed on a number of issues. The Justice ruled in the decision that almost 13,000 members became active members, a condition that allows them to participate in club elections, in a very short time. In this regard, the lawyer defended that the board of directors of the previous administration gave the mandate in 2019 the power to assign the transfer of active partners.

Furthermore, Rodríguez said that, according to the entity’s laws, if he spent a year as an active member without being denounced, he would automatically gain full status. After a brief intervention by the representative, Riquelme first of all thanked the many members of the squad and the coaching staff for their appearance. “They came here when they found out I was going to have a meeting; I love them and thank them very much,” he said.

In addition, he repeated the idea that the opposition, led by the duo formed by the economist Andrés Ibarra and the former president of the club (1995-2007) and of Argentina (2015-2019), does not want the members to vote in the election.

Riquelme, who spoke many times as a “Boca fan”, said that he was the one who “put his head, his arms, his heart” to take care “with the fans” of the club he loves, that he asked. “that they won’t privatize it.” , and these people will never come back, but never again. The former Villarreal and Barcelona soccer player repeated his wish that “on Sunday we can have the party we want,” because, in his opinion, the board did “things well.” “Nothing out of the ordinary and obvious has ever happened,” he added.

What is certain is that the ’10’ has the support of thousands of fans at the club, who even organized a ‘banderazo’ outside the house of Boca passion to protect the legendary former player who raised three of the six that Libertadores Cups club is in its showcases. “Macri is scared,” shouted many fans around ‘La Bombonera’.
