Chairman of the board of directors of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Pedro Rochawill call for elections for the presidency of the organization in the coming days. Whether there is a new Ministerial Decree. This was confirmed by sources from the Federation aE l Periódico de España and the Prensa Ibérica group, who reaffirmed Rocha’s determination to hold an electoral process in the first four months of the year.
The same sources avoid setting a deadline for the call but emphasize the following: it is not possible to wait any longerso the search could take place over a two week period. The question now is what kind of elections will be held: Will they be ordinary, that is, will a new president be elected for four years; or extraordinary, which will lead to A presidency that will end after the Paris Olympic Games. After the Olympic event, new elections will be held as stipulated by the Sports Law.
We are waiting for the decision of the Ministry
Rocha promised months ago to extend his presidency temporarily. RFEF Only until the first quarter of this year. The decision, which also received the approval of the government and TAD, was based on the fact that at this point in the year the Ministerial Decree that would regulate the selection processes of all national sports federations had already been approved. This is how they can celebrate early electionThis will lead to a full four-year term.
However, due to the change in the head of the MKK and the bureaucracy inherent in such procedures, the approval of the Ministerial Decree is delayed. As this newspaper reported, the Government is now waiting to take action. A report from the State Attorney’s Office to issue the order after reviewing the said opinion.
The problem is that time is starting to get very tight, considering No selection possible after the European Cup has started (June 12) Since this process covers a period of at least 50 days, the election regulations in the RFEF must first be prepared, then the parliament must be formed, and then the presidential election must be held.
Some ‘quick’ picks
Like this, Rocha ready to call for ‘fast’ electionWhere those who elected Luis Rubiales almost four years ago will vote. Whoever is elected will be the head of the RFEF in all respects and will have full executive authority, but His term will end after the Olympic GamesWhen will the new parliament that will elect the new president be established?
As the federation announced, Rocha will convey this decision to the new president of the federation. C.S.D., José Manuel Rodríguez UribesWe hope that it will be possible to call full elections as planned, provided that the new Ministerial Decree has already been published in the BOE. The head of the management company understands this The interim period must end now and he is disturbed by voices that say he wants to stay in his temporary position as long as possible.
Galán’s complaint against Rocha
In fact, it was thought that the delay in the approval of the Ministerial Decree in recent days would cause early elections not to be held. Rocha remained leader of the federation executive until after the Olympic Games.
Coincidentally or not, this decision coincides with Miguel Galán’s complaint against Rocha and members of his management company, which CSD forwarded to the TAD. CENAFE president thinks: Rocha himself violated the RFEF’s charter by not calling an election immediately after Resignation of Luis Rubiales. The TAB should announce shortly whether it will open a case or reject the complaint; This second option is one that Rocha’s entourage practically takes for granted.
