In recent days we have witnessed – with surprise and disbelief – a movement initiated by some clubs, some of them maliciously induced from false and incorrect information, which claim the representation of all the institutions that make up the Professional Football League “.
“This small group never told me their differences personally, nor did they raise them institutionally, in a debate with their peers at the Executive Committee meetings of our League, which is the place where the different questions that concern our activity should be raised. “.
“For my training and my values, I consider institutional destabilization a devious blow, not only to the authorities that were legitimately elected in a timely manner, but also to the life of the organization that it is trying to violate. “
“I do not share the methods or the values of the people who carry out this adventure, and I firmly believe in democracy at all levels of our institutional life and in the legitimacy that those who represent us should have.”
“By virtue of this, and of the conversations that I have had with all the Clubs, in my capacity as President of the LPF I call them to a meeting of the Executive Committee to be held on January 11, 2022, immediately after the draw of the fixture of next year’s tournaments (which is scheduled for 01/11/2022 at 3:00 pm at the Hilton Hotel) “.
“There we will deal especially with any matter related to the current authorities of the League as well as the call for elections of President and Board of Directors, in case the highest body of our institution deems it necessary.”
“Again, I regret to address you at this time of year for these circumstances, I would have liked this note to be to share how much was achieved working as a team in such a difficult year as 2021.”
