RUBIALES CASE | Pedro Rocha’s RFEF calls an “extraordinary and urgent” meeting

The Royal Spanish Football Federation begins to move after the disqualification by FIFA of Luis Rubiales, which prevents him from exercising as head of the federative body. His replacement, Pedro Rocha from Extremadura, a man of consensus in the RFEF, has decided summon “a meeting extraordinary and urgent” with the presidents of the territorial to analyze the situation.

The meeting will take place This Monday at 4:00 p.m. in the first call and at 16:15 in the second. It will be held at the RFEF headquarters, in Las Rozas, and has only two points for the day: “Analysis and evaluation of the current situation and evaluation of the decisions or actions to be taken” and “answers and questions”.

It is not the first decision made by Pedro Rocha, current president of the Extremadura Football Federation, a position that he will maintain from his provisional position at the helm of the RFEF. Just released the internship of him, he ordered the withdrawal of a statement in which the Federation accused Jenni Beautiful of “liar” and “abductee”.

Vilda also turns her back on Rubiales: she regrets her “improper behavior” and the damage to the success of the team

Who is Pedro Rocha?

Pedro Rocha, president of the RFEF on a temporary basis, occupied until this Saturday the position of vice president of the Federation. He has been the leader of Extremadura football for ten years. His discreet and conciliatory character within the board has made him also the favorite of the territorial presidents, who will support him in their vast majority.

Rocha took over after being the only vice president who did not resign in an operation supervised by himself rubiales. “I am going to defend the interests of the institution more than those of any other. That is what really matters,” he says ad nauseam in his intimate circles, Rocha, as reported by El Periódico Extremadura, from Prensa Ibérica.

The instrumentalization of Rubiales

Rubiales’ suspension of “all football-related activities in 90 days” was communicated by FIFA this Saturday. Even after the decision that left the Andalusian at the helm of the RFEF without power, were published press releases in favor of the disabled. Everything, despite the fact that he cannot publicly exercise power from the institution.

The territorial managers of soccer are the ones who have experienced the conflict with Rubiales more closely. As they recognized after the assembly, they went to it believing that the head of Spanish football was going to resign. Something that did not happen. On the contrary, Rubiales used the meeting as an exercise in self-assertion.
