The ex-president Mauricio Macri confirmed today that he will “participate” in the Boca Juniors club elections which will be held this December. In addition, he shot against the management of Juan Román Riquelme and described it as “personalist”.
In the framework of an interview in Radio RivadaviaIn addition to talking about the situation in the country and getting into the PRO internship in the City of Buenos Aires, the former president ratified his intentions to be on an opposition list at the Xeneixe club.
“I am going to participate, without a doubt, because I am very concerned with what is happening in Boca. You can win or lose, but Boca is above all people. Boca is the one we built together for 12 years. A solid, strong and respected institution in the world as we lead it to be. Not only because of the number of titles we won, but also We transmitted professionalism, seriousness and organizationMacri assured.
Likewise, he pointed to the current management of the club by Juan Román Riquelme: “All this today is in crisis with this personal way that Riquelme has to govern the club at will. I really don’t believe in that and I’m not confused. ORnothing is the playerwhich I have the honor of having discovered in Argentinos Juniors and brought twice for us to win a Libertadores in which, perhaps, it was the championship they have played the best in their history”.
“But that has nothing to do with being a sports leader, behaving with those parametersthe same ones with whom, paradoxically, we are talking about Argentina: the institution is above the people. The rules are the same for everyone. That’s what worries me,” he added.
The former president who led the Ribera club from 1995 to 2008 would accompany Andrés Ibarra, the former deputy chief of staff and Minister of Modernization during the macrista national government. Ibarra has already presented himself as one of the candidates who will seek to become the new president of Xeneize starting next December.
Finally, he denied the rumors of his supposed nomination for FIFA headline: “It is very complex to be president, it requires the support of the majority of the countries in the world. Obviously for me it would be an honor, but today I feel very honored to have been summoned by the president Gianni Infantino to take care of the Foundation and help them in what appears. I have a very important relationship of trust with him and I am very grateful for the one he has with me. That’s as far as we go,” he concluded.
