Organized Corinthians supporters have announced a call for a peaceful demonstration next Monday (25), the date on which the club’s Deliberative Council will review the case involving former president Andrés Sanchez.

The mobilization is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) at Parque São Jorge, hours before the extraordinary meeting of the Deliberative Council, which will discuss the possible removal of Andrés from the club’s membership rolls.

In the statement posted on social media, the organizers call on members of the organized supporter groups, club members, and fans in general to follow the proceedings. The text also criticizes Corinthians’ recent administrations and mentions issues such as the club’s growing debt, financial problems, and sporting sanctions, including transfer bans.

The movement comes amid proceedings being conducted by Corinthians’ Ethics and Discipline Committee. The opinion issued by the body unanimously recommended the expulsion of Andrés Sanchez from the club’s membership rolls. The final decision, however, will be made by the full Deliberative Council at the meeting scheduled for Monday.

In addition to Andrés, the organized supporters’ statement also mentions former president Augusto Melo, whose case will be followed on June 1, and Duílio Monteiro Alves, who also has proceedings underway at the club, though no trial date has yet been set.

In recent days, the issue has gained momentum behind the scenes of Corinthians politics and mobilized different groups linked to the club. The Deliberative Council has already announced, through an official statement, that the meeting will have restricted access only for council members and those directly involved in the case.

Check out the statement released by the organized supporters below:

“Attention, Fiel Torcida! Next Monday (25), starting at 4 p.m., we will gather for a peaceful demonstration to follow an important moment in the recent history of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista: the expulsion proceedings of former president Andrés Navarro Sanchez from the club’s membership rolls.

The time has come, members of the organized supporter groups, club members, Corinthians fans in general. It is time to begin the clean-up at Parque São Jorge. Everyone who has harmed the club over these years must be held accountable—those who contributed to this million-dollar debt, transfer ban, and so many other losses for Corinthians.

The presence of all supporters who believe in a more transparent, democratic Corinthians that is faithful to its fans is essential. Enough with political backroom deals. We want a clean-up at Parque São Jorge.

We will not rest until everyone who harmed the club is expelled and made to pay in some way. We will also remain mobilized on Monday (6/1), when we will follow the expulsion proceedings of former president Augusto Melo from the club’s membership rolls.

In addition, we are closely following the case involving former president Duílio Monteiro Alves and will be present as soon as the date is set. Let’s show up, Fiel!”
