Most trusted table presidents

More details continue to emerge from the summary case of alleged irregularities in the previous elections for the presidency of the Catalan Football Federation (FCF). The constitution of polling stations has also been a subject of controversy. Electoral regulations establish that there must be 3 members constituting them. According to tradition, and throughout the history of federative elections, they have always been composed of FCF judges, that is, the members of the various committees, because of their knowledge of the regulations. However, for the elections of February 13, 2023, and by the clear order of the General Director and Director of the Catalan Indoor Soccer League, José Miguel Calle, these people have been replaced by others in whom he has full confidence.

So, the presidents of the tables became: at l’Anoia, Iván Vázquez (secretary of futsal teams); in Bages-Berguedà, Horacio Álvarez (secretary of the futsal competition committees); in Baix Llobregat, Jesús Santiago Pérez Checa (worker and wife of José Miguel Calle’s wife’s cousin); in Barcelona, Israel López (director of the Coaching School and former director of the futsal committee); in Girona, Amadeo Zurita (secretary of the futsal referees committee); in Lleida, Ramon Castellarnau (secretary of the delegation, after the dismissal of the previous one, and former futsal worker); within Maresme, Jesús Manchado Lozano (attached to general management and responsible for human resources); in Osona The members are Carlos Núñez (Coaches School worker and son of director Juan Núñez) and Alba Moreno (coaches committee worker and daughter of Referees Committee director, Xavi Moreno Delgado); in Penedès-Garraf, Joan Estruch (futsal press officer); in Sabadell, Isabel Montilla (worker of the Sabadell delegation and former personal secretary of Soteras when he was president of CE Sabadell); in Tarragona, Quim Sanllehí (current secretary, after the previous one was fired, and former employee of the futsal committee); in Terrace, Jesús Manchado (from the purchasing department and Calle’s most trusted person); in Terres de l’Ebre, the judge Sergi Garrido (who already knows that he met with Calle in Sant Andreu de la Barca to determine the strategy to follow); within Valles OrientalLluís Broto (then FCF accountant negotiating with Calle on his early retirement with compensation worth 230,000 euros).

No loose ends

So, everything is properly linked so that there are no problems with the tables during the election. Furthermore, they were all summoned a day before the polls, February 12, 2023, to receive instructions. In this meeting, Calle made it clear to them that they should only accept the notarial acts that came from the candidacy of Joan Soteras. If they come from other candidates, they must be scanned and sent to an incident account and he himself will decide if it is valid or not, as it was found out after the witness statement of the general secretary Oriol Camacho.

And it is worth remembering that Calle, as he already said in some audios revealed in a meeting before the elections on May 22, 2022 that had to be repeated due to irregularities, is more than loyal to President Joan Soteras: “I I’ll give anything to get a president (for Soteras), who will be a bitch, no matter what they say. And to help you kill them, I volunteered for free. For you, free volunteer.”
