Jon Uriarte He gave the surprise pre-campaign for the Athletic elections. The Biscayan businessman —the youngest, the last to start and the most a priori the favorite — filed 6,254 guarantees this afternoon in Ibaigane, more than his two competitors collected. Ricardo Barkala He did not want to specify the figure this morning, but as MD found out, it exceeds 4,000, and Inaki Arechabaleta reached 3,304.
“For us it was a process that had to go through. We had to work with a week less time than the rest and in record time we got an incredible number of supports. It was not a career, but it has exceeded the minimum. We have developed a lot of enthusiasm and we have received a lot of support. We are very grateful to all of you “, he said this afternoon outside the clubhouse.
As a result, he recovered from his absence and even allowed himself to be a favorite. Usually, the candidate who delivers the most guarantees wins the election, although now the Electoral Board has to confirm the exact number of signatures and there are also exceptions. For example, Elizegi he won the last election after having fewer endorsements. “It’s probably not like that (favorite condition). It’s not a career, it’s not a goal to get more than others. It was a tremendous support, technique that succeeded. We don’t compare ourselves to others, ”he said.
In any case, yes, he was quite satisfied, almost full of the support it received: “The feeling was incredible. It exceeded all our expectations. At first it was difficult for us to start because it was necessary. we set up a logistics system.It was not easy.Because of our experience, we did it in a few days and since then we have worked well.Everyone told us to be careful with the guarantees, that this is a very important challenge and very difficult to exceed the minimum number. We have tripled, so we are very happy ”.
Jon Uriarte He preferred to pull humility. “We are not looking for a number like that, we do not value it. We want people to get to know us, to take our project seriously, that the team is made up of normal people, who come here to commit suicide to work at Athletic. In the figure we have reached we have achieved this. We haven’t looked at the statistics of previous elections. “
What is your main source of guarantees? “At first, we thought the support would come more from the youth, but as the days went by we realized it wasn’t. It has been of all age groups, in fact we have the number 1 member of Athletic and today we have been went to the home of the member with the longest service because he can no longer go to the office because his hip is broken. . This is the final endorsement. We were supported by the very old and the very young. Of all ages, it is something very positive ”, he affirmed.
The pre-candidate considers it positive that there are three members in contention for the club’s presidency. “For athleticzales it is very good that there are three projects, so they have more choices. The three projects seem powerful and are made up of talented professionals. This is good news from this point. We are pleased to compare the projects with our rivals. ” Uriarte He added that they will run a “total clean” campaign. “We will act righteously and we will not fall into provocations. I hope that the rest, who have said the same thing, keep their word”, he concluded.
