The expectation was growing as a new field theme that is going turning on in each fan and spreads with a contagious effect of word of mouth. All Independent He remained in suspense in recent days awaiting the official announcement. And that finally happened this Thursday: Santiago Maratea He launched the collection to save the Avellaneda club from the distressing economic situation in which the terrible leadership efforts left it. On its first day, it had come to raise more than 400 million pesos.
The announcement happened through a press conference held at the Libertadores de América-Ricardo Enrique Bochini stadium at noon and faced by the 30-year-old influencer himselfwho was the one who two weeks ago proposed on his social networks the idea of organizing this campaign to help Independiente, which owes more than 23 million dollarsonly for professional football.
Maratea arrived early at the court accompanied by the red vice president, john marconiwho has a friendly relationship with him. He gave him the Devil’s shirt with the number 10 on the back and his last name. He put it on and went out onto the stadium playing field to announce the start of the collection through Instagram stories.
“Independiente has a very large debt that exceeds 20 million dollars. If two million fans put in 4,000 pesos, we pay the debt. There is concern about the dollar. Today we would need 2,200,000 to put 4 thousand pesos for the increase in the dollar“He explained first.
He continued: “I am going to share four links: one of 4 thousand, another of 8 thousand, another of 16 thousand and another of 30 thousand. And I will also share an alias for those who want and can put another figure. Putting 4 thousand is enough, but if you want to support other fans who can’t do it, it can be done.”
The alias, which is already enabled to start contributing, is Maratearojo. The CVU is: 0000003100056132456587.
“What I do is not charity. It has to do with how we organize ourselves to reach collective solutions. I have been a friend of Juan Marconi for many years. We have spoken a couple of times and he has thrown me the idea of the collection. I am I asked how to do it and who would put money for Red. Months ago I started playing soccer at a small club in Ezeiza and I connected a little more when the fans sent me memes. This started as a meme and became more and more real.” , he already told at a press conference.
More: “I put together an army of empathizers. I tell them what I want to do, they empathize and join in. In this case, the people of Independiente already know what is happening and they only needed someone to organize them. It is as simple as knowing that the money goes where it has to go. I don’t know if it’s so difficult not to steal money. I can handle 20 million dollars without problems and without missing a peso.”
An important issue is how all the money collected will be handled. This is what Maratea said: “The total management of all the money is merely mine. The purpose of this trust is to pay the specific debts of the club. The most important ones. This is not a common trust because the trustor is all the fans of Independiente, represented in a person who is Diego, who is a representative of a club”.
And he deepened: “By pooling the money in a trust account, less taxes are paid and no interest is paid. The trust expenses are quite expensive, we are talking about thousands of dollars. I am the trustee, who manages all the money There are lawyers, notaries… When it is paid, everything will be shown on a payment receipt”.
In turn, he answered the accusations that were spread by those who disbelieve in his collections: “There is a rumor that I am taking 20 percent of the proceeds. That is incorrect, what you do have to pay are the costs of the trust, that it will be 5%. They say that this is to launder money. I don’t understand how if everything is blank. You can know who puts each peso, where it comes from and where it goes. They say that I work for the Pro, I understand that these are theories conspiratorial”.
He specified and made it very clear that the leadership will not intercede in the management of the money, which will be used as a first measure to cover the largest debt, which is the one with América de México and is 5.7 million dollars. .
Maratea was accompanied by a club glory like Miguel Angel Santoro. It was Maratea who called Pepé to be with him at this very particular moment. And the former goalkeeper sent a message loaded with emotion.
“The time has come for us, the fans who really love Red. I feel proud and very honored that Santi has chosen me to be by his side. He chose me because he knows that I am a fan of Independiente and that I am a person who It will not touch a peso. We are going to take care of this with all the feeling. We know in the country that we are and the leaders who left us. This makes us put our guard up,” said Pepé.
“I was a fan of Maratea – Santoro continued – since before he called me. When Corrientes needed him, he made his contributions and we could see that it went there. And he answered me and thanked me for the contribution he had made. I think he is a sensational person , sincere and frank. We are on the right track to provide solutions”.
And he concluded: “Let’s hope this helps us to start once and for all and be the team that it was. Many would pay the debts of Independiente in order to get the Cups that this club has. Let’s not live on memories; let’s once again have a present that will fill with pride.”
