Yesterday, Friday, we had the decision of the MD TAD to nullify the electoral process for the presidency of RFEF which started on September 10 and where María Ángeles García “Yaye” He is the only candidate to be recognized next Friday the 27th.
The decision of Sports Administrative Court This relies on the fact that the former president has not yet been impeached Pedro Rocha after being disqualified on July 16 by the TAD itself for the next two years and the Administrative Litigation denying him precautionary measures on September 3.
In the resolution, the TAD urges that, in accordance with article 26 of the Federal Statutes, a General Assembly must convene to do so. Because the body has the power for “Election and dismissal of the President.”
At this point the question is: What will the RFEF do now? The first thing is to reconstitute the Board of Directors that was disbanded as a result of this process to be annulled and appointed by Pedro Rocha after being elected on April 26. The body has the capacity to conduct the official call for elections in the RFEF.
The normal thing now is to directly call elections in the coming weeks to all bodies and for the next four years according to article 17.11 of the Law that controls the electoral processes. and where it says that “When the person holding the presidency of a Spanish sports federation is suspended or disqualified by final resolution for a period equal to or more than the remaining term to expire, it is equivalent to more in six months, the call for appointments will continue.
There are two reasons for adopting this decision. The first is that the electoral mandate that Luis Rubiales started four years ago has now ended. The resigned and disqualified president of FIFA He was re-elected on September 21, 2020. But there are also only three months and 10 days left to finish 2024. Time in which this electoral process must be carried out in all sports federations.
As soon as this happens, the Board of Directors will have to be again a Manager with a maximum of 12 people, six of whom will be elected by Appointed Commission and six more of the Board of Directors. The electoral process will begin where the 143 members of the future General Assembly, which will elect the future president, will first be chosen.
Because another option, which is more complicated because of the times, is to start again what is planned now. That is, the General Assembly must first be called to carry out the cessation of Pedro Rocha. And then, when this happens, the Board of Directors will again call elections for the presidency according to article 31.8 of the Statutes of RFEF which says “If the President ceases for a reason other than the expiration of his term, the Board of Directors shall constitute the Management Commission and shall call elections to fill the position; the person elected shall hold the position for a period equal to the time remaining to be fulfilled by the person replaced.”
The elected president will convene the process for other bodies. This path has the risk of being challenged again, in addition to the fact that the electoral hours make it almost impossible for mandatory elections in all bodies, and in the next four years, they will be held within year 2024.
