The RFEF immediately summoned his Board of Directors for this Wednesday at 4:15 pm and electronically. A call as a result of TAD’s decision on Friday to nullify the electoral process for the presidency of RFEF what is happening and where Maria Angeles Garcia He is the only candidate to be proclaimed as president this weekend.
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 after the preventive measures of the Administrative Litigation were rejected 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 the “election and dismissal of the President.”
This Monday we explained to the MD the existing labyrinth regarding this concept of dismissal, as stated in the Statutes of the RFEF.
So it will be on Wednesday when the existing Board of Directors will decide which path they will take. But, considering everything explained today in the MD, it is likely that it will directly call elections to all bodies and for the next four years according to article 17.11 of the Law that controls the electoral processes.
Article that says “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 remainder until the end of the mandate, it is equal to more than six months, the call for appointments will continue.
There are several reasons that justify this. First, because the four-year electoral mandate that started Luis Rubiales on September 21, 2020, ended on Saturday. But there are also only three months and 7 days left to finish 2024. Time in which this electoral process must be carried out in all sports federations. And furthermore, the articles on which the RFEF relies do not at any time speak about the concept of termination.
Once this happens, the Board of Directors It needs to be a Manager again with a maximum of 12 people, six of whom will be elected by the Delegate Commission and six more by the Board of Directors. The electoral process will begin where the 143 members of the future General Assembly will first be chosen, who will elect the future president.
Because the other option, which is more distant, is to start with what is planned now. That is, the General Assembly must first be called to carry out the cessation of Pedro Rocha. Call that the RFEF now considers that they cannot exercise according to the Rules. And then, as soon as this happens, the Board of Directors will call again elections for the presidency according to article 31.8 of the RFEF Laws, which says “If the President ceases for reasons other than the end of his mandate , the Board of Directors will consist of the Management Commission and will call elections to fill the position;
The elected president will convene the process for other bodies. And there is no material time to perform. Tomorrow we will know the final decision.
